Any guesses? Wood ID

Came in my Black Locust piles. It’s not BL. Curvy and crooked like BL. Even has growth rings like BL. No bark left, it’s aged. Almost a very dirty light purple hue to the aged heartwood. It’s a lightweight wood much like dead ash in weight.



Had a friend out there today. Taking care of my punky pen of Black Birch and Beech. About 5-6 cords of that stuff left. It’s next years wood.

 

Black Walnut.

 

This is the correct answer.

 

That was my guess before scrolling down the replies.

 

Hey that was on my shortlist of possibilities!! A first for me. Thanks folks.

 

That's a NOPE! I 'm all done working on the woodpile for today.

 

It looks like it has a couple chipmunk babies on the way down.

 

Same here as well.

It's amazing how light that stuff gets

 

Could be. I didn’t get too close to bother him. I want him to feel at home in there.

 

Black walnut. Heartwood very rot resistant. Smells like iodine when split.
