firewood

Hey All I will be going for this one in the morning. I'm guessing that it is some type of oak.

 

Looks like a long dead white pine from here.

 

I agree my fire pit supply is getting low. This will be added to that pile for grilling this summer.

 

I agree, but my fingers are crossed that it’s really a massive Persimmon.

 

Chud I dont think that I have ever cut Persimmon, how does one tell if is is Persimmon.

 

A sticky goo oozes out between bark and wood.
The bark is darker, but similar in pattern to older dogwood. If the tree has been long dead the bark will crumble in small cubes.

 

Is that bubblegum goo similar to the goo that oozes out of a wild cherry tree

 

Im thinking some type of softwood too. Nice that its mostly off the ground.

Cut safe and be sure to post more pics!

 

Persimmon sap is like Karo syrup

 

When you get a chance get a closer picture it will help us id the tree
Safe cuttings

 

Persimmon has pretty unique bark

Definitely looks like some sort of pine from the picture but closeups will help.

 

Finally was able to get out this morning after all the rainy days that we have had, Yes Eric and jrider were correct it is pine firewood. Therefor I cut it for the fire pit and the family gathering this fall. Did not take any pictures.
