There is one across the street from me. The first winter I lived here he put out a lot of smoke. After that he got ahead, and even though he...
I agree, it looks like Ironwood.
I have burned a bunch of it, and never noticed a bad smell. It is like a lot of other medium-density hardwoods in terms of heat, burn time, etc.
I say Black Gum. A lot of the Black Gum around here don't get lots of berries, at least not a lot that last long enough to fall on the ground, so...
Good stuff. I like Chestnut Oak.
I think it is Bigtooth Aspen.
Don't stack wood on the filled trench for a while It is probably going to settle for the first year or two. No big deal unless there is a stack of...
Bigtooth Aspen, I think.
I have most of a fairly large Japanese Zelkovia somewhere in my stacks.
If I had woods, I wouldn't want to log them. I have seldom seen a woodland that wasn't trashed after loggers left. Most of the time it seems like...
I think Black Locust makes a nice tree for a lawn. It has a nice shape, gets flowers in the spring, and grows fast when young. It casts a light...
I think it is White Mulberry, not Red. That would be a huge Red Mulberry. White Mulberry is often that large. Definitely not Sassafras
Tulip Poplar is not very similar to the 'true' poplars such as Aspens and Cottonwoods. I like Tulip Poplar, which seems about like Red Maple to...
From the photo it looks like that wood is too far from the curb for me to assume it is out for pickup. I figure if the owner puts it on or near...
I have burned lots of Callery Pear/Bradford Pear because they tend to break in storms and end up on the side of the road. It is very good firewood.
From here that looks like Yellow Birch, which is very high on the BTU charts.
Some of the leaves farther from the camera look asymmetrical the way American Elm leaves should. Maybe the symmetrical leaves in the center of the...
Do you have a shot of the leaves or the upper part of the trunk? With really big trees like that the bark low on the trunk tends to look different...
I usually make a notch that is at least 90 degrees, with the top face and bottom face both angled. I make the back cut usually more or less...
I don't think there is any North American wood that is anywhere near as dark as Black Walnut.
