Tree Service Score Stumped

I know this is good stuff, because it’s the heaviest wood I’ve ever touched. I’m stumped, can’t ID it. I’m leaning toward hedge, but the leaves don’t match. Too orange for mulberry and the leaves don’t match that either. Anyone have any ideas???can’t figure out how to post pictures…apparently it cannot be done from a phone??? If so can someone please explain the process. Thanks

 

Click upload file and choose the pics you want to post.
All I use is a phone

 

Try this. It works from your phone or computer.

 

I'll take a stab in the dark and say firewood.
Just follow what they said for posting pictures. If the file is too big, you may have to reduce them.

 

Orange....heavy....leaves not mullberry or osage.... I say BLACK LOCUST! It could also be some nasty willow.

 

Got it. Thanks guys. Any ideas? I’m thinking maybe apricot.

 

Looks like Bradford Pear Ive scored before but that would be a huge one. For confirmation go try to split a piece and see what happens.

 

Will probably start processing it this weekend. Can’t wait…it smells wonderful. Kind of a sweet cinnamon smell. Regardless of what it is, it will go to the stacks for the 26-27 burning season. May put a few chunklies aside for smoking some ribs.

I think Bradford pear is the winner after looking at some pics online. Pretty decent wood for this area and fairly sizable score. I think it will be around a cord and a half css. Not bad for dumped in the back yard with no trash. Picked up a 24 pack of modelo for the tree service guys.

 

The color looks like it could be apricot and so do the leaves, but I’m not good at playing “wood ID”. Bark doesn’t look like I remember the apricot I cut out of my yard.
No experience with Bradford pear.
If’n it is apricot you’re gonna love those ribs
Definitely my favorite wood on the smoker

 

Looks like Bradford (callery) pear to me. Very heavy when fresh cut. If it shatters when you split it you’ll know for sure. I liken it to splitting like a toilet bowl would

 

If that is a Bradford Pear it is the biggest one I have ever seen. They usually get taken out by storm damage before they get that big.

 

Bradford Pear

 

Bradford pear. Decent btu's. Can be rather bizarre when you split it. Nothing i can compare it to with my limited experience with it

 

That grain pattern reminds me of splitting an old Beech yard tree from a buddies of mines house. Almost couldn't get full size/length splits.

 

100% on board with the Bradford Pear crowd.

 

I was thinking it looked a lot like Bradford Pear. Buddy of mine cut some a couple of years ago, said it burned nice. I've never ran across any big enough to mess with.

 

I am curious how one would know what splitting a toilet bowl is like. . . that just sounds like fun.
Maybe when I replace one here I'll try it, right where the retaining wall will bury ant remains!

 

I have busted one up with lead. It just broke into irregular shaped pieces of porcelain.

 

A friend threw one off the head end of a train once, 55MPH, just heaved over his head on onto the tracks. Along with his porcelain sink and toilet tank. it looked like a handful of white pea-stone had been thrown on the tracks.
