Hello All! With a younger future firewood hoarder in tow, I haven’t had much time to cut firewood! So far I have processed a cherry tree, which was a nice find, and some of the usual elm. Yesterday I drove by the city burn pile and there was tons of this stuff! Most were too big to even mess with, but I was able to get two loads. At first I thought it was silver maple, but now I am thinking some type of pine. What type of wood do you all think this is?
Looks like silver maple and maybe black walnut for the smaller rounds with the light ring surrounding the dark heartwood. Hoard on!
looks like mostly silver maple. The brown ended ones could be walnut but reminds me of mulberry thats been weathering for a while. Pic of my all mulberry stack with fresh(yellow) and weathering splits. Rounds may have been cut, sat for a while, then brought there. Any bark remnants on them Sean Easterly ?
Maybe they do there but around here, mulberry would not provide such uniformly round rounds. If anyone knows they do, in fact, grow nice and round, I'd like to know! They are often rather gnarly around here. A nice, round mulberry trunk, now, that would be awesome! (Your tootsie rolls (lol!) are very round!) Whatever you have, it looks awesome, great score! One for the dump! I'm mad, they locked the gate on my town dump and I see good wood about to be burned up.
I had to go back for more! Also - pretty much confirmed it’s silver maple. I found a section that really showed the smooth bark (that I always associated with Maple) transitioning out from the rough bark.
Oh yeah! Dat's walnut fer sur! Dont's means ta say I tod ya so, but I tod ya so! Even ah blind squirrel finds ah akorn now an ahgin!
