Locust throwing sparks?

Anyone else had this happen before I have heard of it with osage before. I thought I hit metal cutting a log this afternoon but it didn't dull the blade like metal would. What causes this just the wood being so hard?

Grit in the bark. First few swings sometimes give a spark or two. Found a nail almost half way into a one-foot trunk once

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Yep hard stuff,when it is seasoned you can hardly drive a nail in it. it is used for fence post around here,we nail up the wire before it seasons completely for that reason.

Daniel, are you cutting on someone's chain link fence again, trying to get a "fence post stave"?
