    A lot of wood here, but something I havent really come across before. Is that birch up top, or maybe sycamore? Givd me your thoughts on that and anything else you aee in the pile.

    I see a piece of birch up top there(the little one), the medium size piece in the middle(end facing us) looks like ash. The rest I would guess Poplar or Aspen?

    The end of the large one sticking out looks like it may be box elder

    Cut a hunk off 1 of them logs and see how heavy it is. knowing your area I'm guessing it may be Linden/Basswood from someones yard.

    The piece on top appears to be a Christmas tree. :p Ooo looks like there's a tin can in there as well - hear those are good for cleaning the chimney! :picard:

    Scotty-- I will text you the full size image. I was thinking the big ones at the bottom were a maple. Very big pieces also not in picture.

    I definitely see some basswood, and what could be ash. And possibly Norway maple.

    I think the big logs look like Mulberry, but hard to see them clearly enough

    I see a bunch of small poplar at the top, in the middle some ash, and I think that's a big maple to the right of the middle.

    Difficult with the picture but it looks like some cottonwood and popple at the top of the pile but as I stated, it is difficult at best and I can be wrong.
