wood ID

I got a load of this wood this afternoon, all of the leaves are brown so it might be harder to ID.


let me know what you think

 

Looks like firewood to me!!





Sorry, I had to be the first to say it

 

My guess is some kind of elm.
Leaf is not pointed enough for Am Elm, or Eastern Hophornbeam.

 

I am thinking maybe cedar elm based on my expert googling... ha

 

Swing a maul at it 20 times and report back w pics. You’ll know pretty quick if elm.

 

all the leaves are brown

 

splits pretty clean if it is elm. first split took a few hits because of the big knots.

 

I’m gonna guess elm also. I don’t know my specific varieties at all, it’s either elm or it’s not. You either love it or hate it

 

I didn’t see the picture of the splits before my post. Assuming it was split with the hand tool in the pictures I will retract my elm guess. I’ve never seen elm split like that with the bark still attached

 

Cedar Elm is native to Texas hill country

 

Leaves and wood look like an Elm to me, too.

 

I agree...

 

The leaves have an elmy look to it, but splitting that easy has me stumped. Never heard of cedar elm. Ive learned something new as well.

 

If elm split that easy would you take any Jason?

 

Sure, why not. I snub it for a reason, but the banter is fun so there’s that.
