Hi,
I'm new here , thanks for having me. I'm a retired landscape contractor from eastern Pa. and i moved to West Virginia. I was looking for some firwood in the woods and saw a tree that was still standing but had no bark. I want to use dead stuff before i cut any live trees for firewood. I cut the wedge to drop the tree and noticed the inside was a dark brown all the way thru. In all my years i have never seen a tree with this color inside. It looks like mahogany but i think it only grows in tropical climates. Can you guys tell me what kind of wood this is and if it's worth selling for lumber or use it for firewood?
