What kind of wood?

[BlueRidgeMark]

I saw this on Craigslist, and it looks identical to a logtruck load that I passed this morning. Anybody know what it is? I'm thinking poplar, but what do the experts say?

Ash?

 

[willt1981]

either ash or poplar. i cant tell from the pic if thats a yellow heart or a brown heart.

 

[yooper]

it is hard to see in the small photo, but I would say ash too.

 

[chucker]

eastern white ash...

I think Ash too, doesn't look like Poplar to me.

Green heart.

Good to hear the votes for ash - there's a ton up where I saw the logging truck. I drive that way every day, and there are some good roadside pickin's available.


Any other votes?

id say tulip poplar. the heart can be yellow, in older trees, or green in younger. it also sometimes has black or purple patches in the heart. if you start throwing purple sawdust you know thats it. a closer shot would go a long way...

1st guess is Tulip.

If it is Tulip Poplar it's super fantastic firewood if you want a quick, hot fire that is burned out in 2 1/2 minutes.

J/k of course. It's not quite that bad, but close. Shoulder season firewood.

its ash

Basswood(Linden)

I am 100% positive it's ash.

Well, after thinking about it...I have no idea.

 

[wahoowad]

tulip poplar. GREAT wood for a first, fast load. Gets my stove up to temp quicker than anything.

Junk poplar! Any worth the time to mess with!

I thought popular was given as a gift to newley weds back in the day by there parents. And buy the next winter they whould have grand kids, if you no what I mean:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
