One more hint. So in Colorado you have a cousin of the other one pictured, lighter in color and less BTUs.
Eric, You should make a plan to come out and see the west! Oregon's a great place for a visit and if you include just a little of the Northern California coast you can include the Redwoods - which are a life altering experience for many people, me included. The Candle Creek article you linked mentions the Metolius river - which springs forth right from the ground as an entire small river. We have lots to see, and I will help ANY FHC member custom make an itinerary that would blow most people's minds. What will surprise most people is how many different climactic areas we have. A few miles, and you may be into something completely different...for example: Eric, This is the Metolius River which your article mentions (above). This is Smith Rock State Park, 25 miles East of the there. (Below) For guys that really love trees, we're the real deal. It's super fun watching a forest drop out some species and pick up others in just a few miles. And yes, Oregon has both types of Douglas Fir.
Been meaning to post this. Finally took pics. The bark in your OP pic looks very similar to this Cash Larue Thats what made me think of it Its the yellowish/green splits in the stack. The wood was CSS last June and i still dont know what it is. Yard tree. Bark holding tight for the most part. Rather dense too. .
Interesting! It honestly looks like willow. But if it’s heavy - it ain’t willow. The bark does look like the bark on the Honey Locust that I posted. You guys on the east coast have way more hardwood than we do in the west. I’m dying to know what that is
