Yes, the variety I am looking at is shipsmast locust, which grows tall and straight, not twisted and gnarly like the typical black locust or honey locust.
I agree that it would be a good idea to mill some up and see what happens....I also wonder which would be best: to cut the trees now, mill it right away and let it the timbers season for a year or so before use, or would it be best to cut the trees now, and let the logs season for a year, then mill the logs to lumber maybe 6 months or so before using???
