    Hello FHC, first post longtime reader.

    Need help with tree ID

    I was thinking about going to get this wood while I’m off work this week. Wanted to make sure it was worth my time.

    Mmmm... Free woood, yep good BTU’s...:dex:....


    :D.... it’s good wood too. If I were a gambling man, I’d say Shag Bark hickory... but. I’ll let a “more” professional Id’r say for sure....

    Welcome to FHC:handshake:....

    Welcome The Muzzy! I agree with the aforementioned shagbark and also that you'll wanna snatch as much of that up as you can.

    Been my experience, Shagbark has a distinctive odor when split. So if looks like shagbark and it smells like shagbark. Seriously though nice score! My first post on any social media

    The pics of the logs laying down look kinda maple-y
    Standing next to shed looks like oak.

    Edit; I'm on my fone, so the the pics are tiny...

    Welcome to the forum. Glad you decided to start posting.

    Thinking about getting that. Is it worth your time? Well, does a bear... Is the Pope Catholic? Is snow white?

    Difficult to tell with the pictures especially that one that was taken during warmer weather. Some look like white oak while others look like hickory. Probably some closer up pictures would help but you don't really need them. Just take that beautiful saw out and let it work!
