Still learning, new to this... can you help me identify these 3 woods?? Thanks. Two pictures of each.
Looks like silver maple. It's been down for a hot minute. All of my old silver maple that's been in rounds for two/three years and loosing bark look like that. The black lines too. The split pics is what solidified my hunch. The sheen looks the same
Maybe I will try again with some better pics. This is some old stuff that a guy dropped off. Still working on it, progress been slow with weather and all
That spalting is beautiful... usually happens with silver maple here. But that’s not definitive proof either. Looks like that wood has been in some wet surroundings for a bit. The big split is dark on each cut face to about 3/8”-1/2” into th split face.
Thanks all. I think the last two are red elm or some type of elm. No fun to split.... sound right? I will take some better pics when it dries up. They are all old and don’t have clean bark so that probably make it difficult.
For a second there I thought you had some kind of pine. The middle that was a bright orange is typical of fatwood but once I saw that you split it, that’s good heartwood. Don’t wanna derail the topic here, just good wood for you.
