got very lucky and scored some black locust last weekend. :greenchainsaw: about a half cord i think. local tennis club has been clearing trees, so i asked if i could have some. asked for a couple of oak limbs, but the groundskeeper took them for himself. however, he said i could take the black locust that was behind one of the courts. it was already bucked, stacked and waiting to rot. i was ecstatic! loaded it up and took it home. just split almost all of it. it's yellow, very interesting. read up on it and decided to split it right away as it is supposed to turn as hard as concrete after it seasons. which brings me to my next question. how long to season? i read someone who said it was very quick, 6 months, and another who said to season it 2-3 years! talk about a difference of opinion!
