Great, so it seems that i made the right choice.

I want to use wood instead of concrete or iron, wood is natural and free. And my project is quite small too

Ok cool.
I'll have no problem replacing them when they'll begin to rot, because there is plenty of trees. But with a chainsaw and an hatchet is hard work and requires a lot of time. So if they could last some time would be great.
And i only need 16 of them, 4 rows of 4, they won't have to sustain a lot of weight.

Thanks now everyone can see them.

I had to cut those trees anyway to clean the area, so i decided to try to use them.
Old people from my place only use chestnut trees to craft poles, so i don't know very much about black locust, even if they are everywhere.
Sapwood is quite thick, i hope it will dry with time.

I will soon sharpen them and when they will be ready i want to burn the part that goes underground. Maybe the'll last longer

Thank you for your replies.
I also tried to use 'attachments' but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi. I want to use them as poles for a small vineyard. I removed the bark with an hatchet and now i want to let them dry until summer at least. Can they last 10 years even if don't remove the sapwood? Will sapwood dry? I can't do it with an hatchet and poles would become too small i think.
