Got a cord of "seasoned" firewood and I think I might have to go into business my self in a few years and sell real "seasoned" stuff (even if its only 3-4 cord a year). Only good thing I can say was that about 2/3 were all around low 20's on fresh splits and the rest was 30+. Some of the splits were 10x8x16!!! Luckily this is my emergency wood if I start to run low _end rant_ This stuff is super yellow in color anyone have any ideas? 3rd pic was just for color comparison. Thanks!
Those wide growth rings don't look like Black Locust to me. The second picture looks greenish and resembles Tulip Poplar. I don't know what you have.
Wide rings, thin, apparently smooth bark on the what little we can see and pizz yellow. I would guess ailanthus and hope I'm wrong.
Interesting. If you bought this from a dealer and it is BL you did very well, depending on the price of course. If it is poplar or ailanthus... Ouch, I hope these were just a few splits mixed in.
I was thinking mulberry when I saw the second picture, but upon closer inspection I am pretty confident that it is... Something else.
Its too heavy to be poplar ( I have split and handled plenty) On a fresh split it is reading 23% and it still has good weight to it (comparable to oak). There were only about 10 splits of this stuff none with bark
I'm betting Mulberry... Old round, but recently split... And a pretty straight grained one at that...
Not sure what it is but for sure I'd be splitting some of it. Those are some large splits at 8 x 10 x 16. No doubt saving some labor by splitting them bigger but that is okay. You may want to leave some of them big and just re-split maybe half or 3/4 of it.
