TJ, if the tree has thorns all over the trunk, it's honey locust. Some guys drop the tree, keep the weeds beat back with roundup for a year, then knock the bark and thorns off.
But, seeing the few growing around here, I'd mess with something a lot easier to cut and split. All those thorns seem like too much work to me.
Black Locuse has no thorns on the trunk, and only some on the smaller branches.
