That is Pin Oak. Around my area Pin Oak is a tree commonly planted in yards and along streets, but not common in the wild.
There is a good layer of live wood that seems to wrap around most of the trunk. I have seen a lot of really big sycamores that are hollow and seem...
That doesn't look like the bark of any maple I am familiar with. The maples out in dry areas of the west are usually the same maples we have in...
I do what log dog III wrote. Some trees you can do this somewhat safely because they are leaning far enough that there is little chance of them...
I use a lot of kindling. I have a small stove and it goes out pretty frequently even in cold weather. A few sticks of dry kindling on marginal...
Elm has a much darker wood than the wood in this picture. I'd say this is Sweet Gum.
Those are four pictures of Eastern White Pine. The bark looks right, the sappiness is typical of White Pine. I have never seen a Douglas Fir grow...
Buckeye and Horsechestnut are related, but not the same Horsechestnut has 7 part leaves if I recall correctly. There are actually three or four...
This is a Buckeye Tree. Are the leaves five-part leaves? Pawpaw trees have one-part leaves, but you mentioned five-part leaves. As for removing...
That is either Mulberry or maybe Osage Orange / Hedge. I am not very familiar with Osage Orange. I agree that there is one round of Hackberry in...
I am burning mostly EAB killed Ash for the past winter or two. I'll be doing the same for the next few years, if not longer. There is so much dead...
I stack mine with two horizontal-ish rings of splits. That is, I place another ring of splits inside the outer ring. Make sure all splits in both...
Are you sure that is a leaf from this tree? I think the tree looks like a White Poplar, which is not native but commonly planted in yards. The...
I'd say Northern Red Oak, although it is a little hard to ID the tree based on the small piece of bark in the photo. Definitely oak.
Are you sure this is only one tree? Some of it, including the big round in the first picture and the bark shots, look like Sugar Maple. The stuff...
Are those Silver Maples?
I love Red Cedar. It burns fast and hot like other softwoods, and I like to have some fast and hot burning wood for spring and fall, and to...
By the way, oleander is a shrub that never gets trunks larger than a few inches and grows in frost-free or almost frost-free areas only. Poison...
I think the original tree is a maple. I am not familiar with the maples that grow in Washington State, and I am sure they are different than any...
The bark will separate from the wood at some point. The problem is that if you stack without removing the bark first, it will be very inconvenient...
