Well it looks a bit like Walnut but like a poster said Catalpa maybe what does it smell like and is it very light for its size?
The more I look at it, maybe Catalpa. Dont really look like Walnut.do you have anything with bark on it?
doesn't look like walnut to me
the picture on the right looks a little bit like black locust. is the wood super dense/heavy?
I've never cut catalpa, seems like a trash tree.
Just saw this thread and my guess was Red Elm too. If you ever get any logs large enough to saw into 4/4, let me know. Beautiful grain.I think you got it with the Red Elm. This little piece was hard to split.
But the similarities between elm and catalpa are very close!

Yeah, but H E double hocky sticks on equipment If it's red elm, it will be super hard to split, especially if it has seasoned. Dead standing red elm is one of those trees that normally causes a spark or two to come off of my chain. Catalpa is not very good for heat. Red Elm is fantastic. Only draw back is that it does not leave a bed of coals, so burn it with something that does.Just saw this thread and my guess was Red Elm too. If you ever get any logs large enough to saw into 4/4, let me know. Beautiful grain.
just sawed some to 8/4 14' to 18' long, 8 to 12" wide. Waiting for someone with $$$$$ looking for trailer boards.Just saw this thread and my guess was Red Elm too. If you ever get any logs large enough to saw into 4/4, let me know. Beautiful grain.
Red elm. burn some in a fire, if it smells like cow poop it is definite.What do you think?
sorry, no bark or leaves.
