That bark looks like honey locust.
   Yankee, The Catalpa tree is a great host for excellent fishing bait.  ;) When the worms come on to the tree you can collect them put them in a sealed container and freeze them. When you are ready to go fishing just thaw them out and they go right back to wiggling. ;D  With their tough skin, they are almost an all day bait too.    Pat

Sounds like what your uncle has is a black locust, which is good bow wood, it has more sapwood than a honey locust and no thorns; or if this tree comes from town it might have been a commercial sunburst locust as someone referred to; I believe that comes from a hybred honey locust.

Hrothgar, It's not Black Locust, i know what that looks like. I think it was hybred honey locust with no thorns.
