    nice pile!
    pre-loading and post loading ibuprofen is essential!

    Let me guess: hackberry, oak, elm, and maybe some silver maple. Typical NE OK firewood.

    Where you located? Muskogee here.

    Do I see hickory also?

    Actually not sure about the maple, I don’t think there was any. Did have some pecan in there tho.

    It isn’t too impressive gents.

    Seriously?!? There are some 24”-28”’rounds in there !!! That would be AWESOME!
    I sell a little here and people request anything from 12”-14” up to 22”-24”.
    I tryand keep it around the latter under the assumption no one will pay my high prices and I get to keep all the wood for myself !!

    50613B44-67C7-4379-BA26-D8102DCE2325.jpeg Admittedly I suck at tree identification for the most part, I can usually tell him oh, for sure a hickory and if it’s a hardwood. I am is never a problem either. But isn’t this Pecan ? I can see you were kind a looks like a maple but the wood inside sure looks like pecan to me. It was a big tree and I know they can get a little flaky bar when their large. I’ve been wrong plenty before though so I would be interested to know if I’m right or wrong!

    Hard to tell from here. Pecan bark can differ widely depending on size and species of pecan. If you say it is pecan, I believe you. I definitely do not think it is silver maple after looking at the close up.
