    Big log in the middle looks like Norway maple.

    Whatever it is it will mix right in, stove won't mind at all

    that’s the one I thought was some type of hickory. Could be a maple. I’ve had so little maple in my days :)

    Yep but I’m selling a little wood now. Time for me to figure out what I have and how much to mix in. Or ask you guys :) The only wood I separate is black locust.
    And I surely don’t want to bring home elm or cottonwood or anything that makes me swear a lot.

    Norway processes and has similar btu's to ash IME. That one looks a little twisty so may pose a problem in the multi wedge. It does split easily though.

    Have you thought of separating out oak from other one year species. Oak in its own bin?

    I usually get so little “other” woods it doesn’t seem to make sense. The pallet pens seem to make sense with mixing a little “other” wood with the oak. Usually try for about 10% filler. One of the reasons I like to know what it is. Sugar maple or hickory I’d treat as oak. If that makes sense :)
