identify these 3 firewood logs please

I have ran into a bunch of these firewood in rounds and curious if they are good firewood and what they are, trying to learn the ropes of what to get b4 its taken home for now and future. thanks in advance!

 

#3 red oak

 

The third is definitely red oak. First two maybe pecan or gum? Cut gum once and never will gain...hard to split.

 

That’s a stumper. #2 silver maple? #3 birch? #1 sassafras?

 

Yeah I was stumped on what these were. just dont want to break my back for terrible wood lol because the first picture those pieces are HEAVY, gotta be 100+lbs

 

shows how much I know, because I thought the first one was some kind of oak

 

If it’s heavy it ain’t Sassafras, so my guess is wrong. Sassafras is probably the lightest wood I’ve handled. It all looks like good firewood, hopefully it splits easily.

 

yeah I hope so, got a 25 ton splitter and alot of days off so itll get done either way. this was legit just cut down this week because my work does a forestry permit and cuts trees down to thin the woods

 

25 ton should handle most wood. I had a 17 ton that never met a knot it couldn’t shear.

 

First 2 are red maple. 3rd looks like red oak

 

I think silver or red maple for first two and red oak for last pic. Silver maple makes good shoulder season wood. Easy to split and dries quickly. Usually.

 

Agreed on cutting Gum once. Learned that lesson myself.

 

can you try and split them Steve Dixon and post more pics. That will help narrow it down.

 

Pfft. My old a$$ Didier splitter is only about 12-14 tons. It splits everything. Elm, hickory, whatever.

#2 sure looks to be silver maple, and #3 looks to be red oak.

Just consider it Free wood and already cut up which is even better.

 

Yeah free is for me! There's like 5 times more then this picture here still there waiting haha

 

number 1 could also be a some version of elm but thats just my swag guess

 

Take it all. It even looks to be evenly cut for the most part
