Lots of white oak not far from home. Somebody picked through the best of it but still got two truckloads before dark. Not sure what this massive tree is, looks like tulip poplar to me. Didn't unload the ford. Went for the new York reload and drove the dodge back.
Difficult to be sure from the picture but it looks like ash to me. Check it for opposite branching, if it is you've got one big ash!
Poplar here usually has more color in the center, greenish when fresh cut, that turns a brownish after drying some. That's pretty uniformly light colored....
First load looks pretty good for second helpings. Goldilocks sized wood. Not sure on second tree. Need more pics.
Mystree. I talked to the neighbor, this was cut down months ago. Even the oak sat around because it was not already cut up and next to the road. Nobody they knew wanted it.
Got another truck load of white oak. Was smarter today and brought the maul and x27 to quarter the rounds.
Looks like Aspen/popple to me…. If it feels slimy under the bark and the bark tends to have a lot of fibers, likely Aspen.
I think its aspen. Is it me or does the first pic have a hickory bark look to it even though its not.
The bark on the ground does to me. I had a pie in the sky thoughts of cutting the big tree up but its too wet and if it is aspen or poplar the juice is not worth the squeeze.
I dont blame you on that. If you were really in need of wood okay, but its a biggun and a lot of work. Better off working on the oak.
I just can’t help myself. Aspen/poplar final answer. I like to have some in the stacks for warmer times when burning good stuff feels wasteful.
