Apologies, by the time I finished typing more comments have now shown up.
Mulberry is incredibly yellow on the inside fresh cut. It's almost unreal, and the only species I've found with similarly bright yellow wood is...
It's interesting you mention that. I was putting pine up left and right this last year. A good deal of it went out the door as part of mixed loads...
I think every Maple I've processed has been a Silver Maple. Not far enough North for the Sugar Maple's I see some of you guys getting into. Charts...
Mulberry is reasonably common in my area. I see them in shelterbelts occasionally and around town pretty regularly. I think they tolerate drought...
Silver Maple looks pretty smooth when it's young. Gets the shaggy, scaly look to its bark as it grows. Same with Honey Locust. My best bet would...
American Elm. The leaves are helpful as well. Siberian Elms tend to have much smaller leaves than American. Same pattern and structure, but a step...
The large rounds are almost certainly Siberian Elm. The smaller sticks look to me like Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus) based entirely on the bark. I'm...
I have had similar experiences to what Zack323 has noted. I've never "heard" the wood checking, but I have seen it happen over the course of just...
Yes, there was indeed a good amount of silver maple in the mix. I really like maple and wish I could get into more of it. But they're only yard...
So for reference, I've only seen a handful of ash trees in my life. I know there to be a few different cultivars (white, green, etc.). Can anyone...

Snagged a fair bit of wood this last weekend. We live across the street from a recently widowed neighbor. I offered to take down what looks to be...
Woke up this little guy while taking down a damaged apple tree for the neighbors. He flew off a few minutes later. Shouldn't have had trouble...
Elm-er Fudd - Thanks for the number. I'll see about giving him a call next week. Maybe if he's doing any work in these little towns south of Dodge...
Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. RCBS - I have been keeping that in mind. I've actually seen what look like a couple of good deals on...
Horkn - I'm afraid not. We don't have a fireplace in our house and a wood stove install is out of the budget for the time being. I'd really like...
Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself. Longtime observer, recently signed up for an account. I'm from Southwest Kansas, ergo "High Plains...
