Mulberry smoked salmon. Noodled some mulberry strings and chunks, turned out amazing

 

I love it!

 

What about this stuff?

 

Studied this for a bit. The color threw me. Im saying ash. Normally not that color inside but had some rot somewhere in the log. If you look at the round in the center you can see some of the rot. The fresh wear on the bark from woodpeckers.

 

more ash?

 

looks like honey locust is back on the menu

 

Looks like hackberry? Very little experience with it and more "warty" than usual. Calling JimBear & Sandhillbilly.

 

Looks berry hacky to me…

 

Kinda looks like a clover haha. Is hackberry always brown in the middle like that?

 

Ive never cut any and have only seen a hand full in my lifetime. That clover is cool though. Slice a cookie off and save it.

 

what about this stuff?

 

Yes, stuff I have cut usually has that in the center.

 

Is this hickory?

 

No pic attached?

 

I see 3 pics but I won’t hazard a guess.

 

Okay now i see links. Looks like Norway maple to me or possibly some other maple.

 

More maple?

 

That could be box elder (a variety of maple AKA as maple ash) based on the bark. Not sure on the "owls eye" log. Your thoughts Eric?

 

big ash bench in progress

 

I think Brad’s got it with Boxelder AKA Manitoba maple, ash leaf maple. Not something I’d go gaga over trying to score mountains of. I’d rate it on par with silver maple.
