Good morning folks!! I was out playing with the family yesterday at a local national forest and saw this beauty. Who all knows what she is?

I second that, as far as the snob wood part it's hard to tell if it's totally dead yet so maybe just sn wood .
It sure is a large one, I've only seen a few bigger.
Hope you and the family had a great time James .

Black Locust.
And a Whopper size one as well.

Any chance you could get it from the National Forest and then place it in your Wood Pile???

Biggest I have seen was on that went at least 6' DBH. It was however a 3 stemmer but all were growed together. I have cut a few in the 30" range. Hard to tell the DBH from the pic with nothing much to size it by, guessing is over 30" and under 48"

I wouldn't be so sure about that James. A locust can look like that for may years and still have live branches off the stem that doesn't have any bark on it.
Locust is some awesome wood, my favorite for burning here.

I've seen 48 plus, 3 or 4 in the same yard.
I'll see if I can find the pictures, buried in the scrounging wood thread, since I lost them on my phone.

Wouldn't mind having that in my stacks.
