Say's i can cut and split it right there then take what I want as long as I leave him some of the split wood so guess it's firewood... Lol
Thanks guys
 
Please help ID this mystery wood!

Hey guys, I got 3 cords of this stuff for $150bux delivered. It has no smell and is relativley easy to split. Most of the pieces were 20" in diameter. Really nice and round. I have no idea what it is tho.

Looks like Poplar, but could be Ash as well :msp_unsure:
 
I donno bout poplar:msp_unsure:

I was thinking long the lines of hickory but hey I am asking you guys to give an ID Most of the time.
So don't count on my opinion. :msp_confused:
 
Thanks for your replys folks. It smells kind of sour and splits green like nothin else I've ever split. Have to drive the maul through with a sledge clear to the bottom. I had no idea elm was so stringy when green. If I cut more I'll just stack it for a year or two. Glad to know it's elm. Not the greatest wood but it'll heat my house ok. Thanks.;)

Your firewood look like Tree of Heaven to me.
I am thinking it will be very light weight when dry.

That stuff with the chunky bark a few post back has me stumped.
