    I'd say Elm - Siberian Elm.

    This is a craigslist add, yeah I blew up the pictures but it didn't do a lot of good cuz they got blurry
    I was just trying to figure out whether I should hook up the trailer and drive 15 miles cause it kind of looked like Cottonwood to me, but then also kind of looked like elm.
    Next time I will word it differently so everyone will know why I'm asking

    Sorry HDR, sounded like you already had it but weren't sure what it was.
    Can you contact the seller for wood type?

    Not a big deal
    I had a feeling I should have worded it differently
    Yeah, I called no answer

    I think it's willow.
    One of those that you want to be sure before you commit eh?
    Not one of the good hardwoods, IMO
