    One is oak but the other two I am stumped on they look to be in the maple family and are soft but defiantly not box elder. O well it all burns!

    Nop I made it. It's a piece of threaded stock cut to size and an old L bracket cut to put on the end. It grabs the previous notch and stops it at the same measurement every time.. I got tired of loosing it so I painted it yellow with a red tip and clear coated it 3 times. It shines like a caddy now!
