Tim Pettigrew:
These logs were harvested whilst helping to clear the grounds of a country house.  I think they are Robinia (False Acacia, Black Locust) but would be most grateful for confirmation or otherwise.

Update 1st December, better cross-section photograph added


Cheers
Tim

 Hi Tim,
            I would also think it is Robinia I have had quite a bit of this off a friend I found it turned very nice and had some very nice grain features and it didn't seem to split while stored.
           
                                                               Regards John

Many thanks John - sounds promising  :)

John D Smith:

 Hi Tim,
           If you have quite a large amount  I would seal the ends. Regards John

Tim Pettigrew:
Thanks John. Yes I do that routinely using EndSeal which I have found to be a very effective treatment for that
