Wood ID please..

Was up at the cutting spot again today and was told this was hickory. I've never processed hickory but these rounds seemed fairly light. We dropped about 10 more ash for another day though.. Her are a couple ash I dropped. I don't like doing it almost chest high but they came down perfectly.

 

Sure looks like Hickory. Pig or mocker nut.

The test is to feel the bark with your eyes closed. It should feel real hard and sharp. No corkiness at all. Nothing else feels like it.

 

I'll try that..

 

I honestly had no clue what you were talking about till I tried it..lol.. I totally understand what you were saying now..

 

I personally wouldn't be concerned whether or not your cuts are waist high of ankle high. It's more on how your comfortable.

Nice lot of BTU's!

 

I agree. Definately one of the many types of Hickory.

 

I prefer to cut low. There was old fence line in those trees so I had to go a little higher than I'd like..

 

looks like the pignut I cut on Thursday.

 

Yes, yes it does. That's it! Hear it burns very very well..

 

Any hickory I have had burns great.

 

As always I topped the load off with ash. I have ash coming out of my ash anymore..lol.. Just waiting to borrow a sitter for what's left..

 

It smells good when it burns too, especially with meat over it.

 

X2 !!

 

I have a Bitternut Hickory stand, one easy way of telling that kind of Hickory is that the buds are yellow. I'm pretty sure it's the only Hickory with yellow buds.
