    Finally made it over here from the temp. site. Pretty nice digs guys!

    Anyway, helped my mother clean up a bunch of down branches from a recent storm and came across this at the local tree dump. No leaves to be found on it.

    My guess would be ash, but I stink at this.

    I was thinking ash but the larger stuff I've run in to didn't have this deep of bark even at this diameter (24" or so)

    Looked like ash to me too, but a longer shot of the bark would be great. Look for the X patern.

    AND SEE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT GOES TO A TREE DUMP!

    You need to get a neat and friendly tree guy to use your yard as a dump.

    I can say this, whoever cut that had a dull azz chainsaw. It looks more gnawed on than cut.

    If a wood fairy comes in the middle of the night you wake up with morning wood.
