Wood ID Help?

[Jimfound]

Hoping to get feedback from the board to help id this wood. It has a distinct orange color and white pith aound the edges. Mulberry? I can get more/better pictures if needed.

thanks guys.

Mulberry- very dense and wet, starts out yellow and turns red.

Looks like Cherry to me?

Did it have a milky sap when you cut it?

That there is definitely mulberry. Great firewood.

 

[Jimfound]

Great. Thanks guys thats what I was hoping. Have been wanting to smoke some chicken with mulberry for awhile and now I can.

I was thinking Cherry, also. Does mulberry have that white strip just under the bark?

 

[Jimfound]

Don't think cherry...bark is all wrong. I've cut enough cherry to be able to spot that pretty good. I can definititrly see the resemblance though...

OK - I won't think Cherry, but I still don't think it looks like Mulberry.

I second, that it looks like young black walnut!

That there is definitely mulberry. Great firewood.

After doing a little research, and finding this definite pic of mulberrry, looks like it!

Another vote for Mulberry. They grow like weeds here in PA.

 

[unclemoustache]

OK, you've convinced me. Mulberry it is!

I checked out the Wood ID Reference threas (sticky at the top of the page) and there was some mulberry in there that looks just the same. Even saw the white strip just under the bark.

Should I add to the wood ID Reference thread? Too bad but I don't think I can go in and post it along with the other mulberry post. It would be nice to be able to put my mulbeery example in that thread right next to the existing mulberry pics. Otherwise you have a scrolling thread where evrything is not grouped together...instead its just in the order that people post. Moderators, any way around that? Ah well, better than nothing.
