You guys are in a snow drought. It's been snowing here for weeks! Mt Mansfield has highest accumulation in November on record. A little over 5 feet.
Yes, the ground is bare here on the NH/MA border. But I'm sure we'll get our turn. Just not for awhile, please?
After 18 Yeah my sister in lake placid keeps driving me nuts with pictures of cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the woods behind her house. Meanwhile, we've had one almost decent winter since we moved here. It's shocking how pathetic winter is down here, when we only moved an hour south from Lebanon Maine to Haverhill
So I cut up a trailer load of this tonight, anyone know what it is? There's more there, I just don't know if it's worth the effort More wood to split and the pile waiting to be stacked
It has tight grain...looks heavy...not sure on species...my guess would be some type of Oak...have any leaves?
Might be, it has a very strong smell when being cut. No leaves to look at, the tree crew took the branches but left the trunks
Is it stringy under the bark? We cut a tree that looked like oak, but was light in weight and I think it was cottonwood. It did not burn well. Stunk a bit too.
Looks like black locust to me too. Hard to see any yellowish tint in the dark with a flash. It does have a distinct smell, kinda like licorice.
I assumed that the comment about the maple being heavier was referring to the fresh cut maple which I believe would have a higher water content percentage wise (dry basis) than fresh cut black locust. Like I said, I could be wrong. Just going by what it looks like.
I was thinking locust too. If the splits are yellow, then more than likely that's what you.got. the weight thing threw me off though.
Flew to Presque Isle Maine for the night, this is the interchange between 101 and 93 in Manchester, NH Mars hill Lewiston Auburn airport Haystack , on the approach to Presque Isle airport Dawn flight departure
I'm no expert by far, never dealt with black locust, but that could be cottonwood or a really big sourwood.
