What ever you end up calling it , don't burn it in an open fireplace. It's gonna make sparks and lots of them.
locust it would be if it has a stinky smell when burning.its either that or a chance its sassafrass did it smell like root beer when you cut it is it very light or med weight does it crackle a lot when burning?
Looks alot like the black locust I cut today. Did you cut the trees yourself, did it have little black seed pods and thorns on the upper branches?
I've got both Mulberry & Locust. The mulberry seasoned up in one year and turned a nice reddish.
The locust stayed yellow & sizzled at me even after two years split & off the ground. But after THREE years.. awesome stuff...
I've heard that.......
Guess mulberry is different in these parts, this has been split and seasoned for a year.
no crackling either but it is extremely light weight, almost as light as pine.

It's not mulberry because it's still yellow AFTER it's been sitting split.
Look at my picture in reply #31; you'll see that the Mulberry is still pretty yellow even though it was split last Spring, and I have had other pieces stay yellow inside well after being split, though most does turn reddish-brown.
