My brother-in-law cut a tree down on his property. This is all I have to go on… he doesn’t know what it is (he just moved in) but told me it’s mine next time I go to his place. Said there’s a couple truckloads. I’m afraid you guys might make me feel stupid but I’m not sure what it is. Any guesses?
I'm not a real ID expert, but I'd be in the Hickory camp as well. The only reason we'd make ya feel stupid is if you turned down the score.If that is indeed Hickory you will love it when the time comes to burn it!
End grain looks like some sort of ash. I thought hickory had darker heartwood but its been forever since Ive cut any.
Hickory will have a ring of dark spots, but I don’t know what it is, or if it’s always in hickory. Bark looks a lot like hickory, but the wood looks too light to be hickory. Splitting will let you know right away what you got. Ash or Hickory it’s a good score.
