    A truck load of hackberry. Not my favorite wood but not bad. I was doing a friend a favor taking down the tree to make room for his new carport.

    Nice job Ralphie Boy .... I personally like hackberry... a little stringy... but dries fast and puts out decent heat....

    Nothing else looks like it. The bark gets nearly flat smooth in the tops and on young trees.
