The outer bark is messing with the ID. I searched a lot of pictures of honey locust, but the bark does not match.
Is there another locust out there that could be similar to honey locust? Does the bark of honey locust change as it ages? Maybe the smooth texture is a younger tree?
I'm not going to argue with anybody who is sure it's not honey locust, but I just cut up a fairly large one, and a lot of the bark looks just like the pics. It was a thornless variety, thank goodness.
