Welcome Michael henderson -You're gonna like it here, I guarantee it-And though I often will not, I concur with the opine of one Eric VW in this case=cherry and Bradford pear (it burns surprisingly well) Nice to meet ya
Thanks for the warm welcome, sirs! The pictures are both of the same wood. The logs and the split piece are both the same.
Then I vote pear-and then I vote w/the nutbag again (no names uttered or animals tested) and say poplar on the second
This is definitely southern yellow poplar. - great for the shoulder season stacks, dries fast leaves a bit of fine powdery ash - should be ready to burn next year if C/S/S now
