Black walnut

My first thought was walnut too.

 

[ray benson]

Looks like walnut.

Looks like black walnut, with wire fencing in it.

 

[Turkeyslayer]

looks like black walnut to me. I have also found it takes a good year and a half to season properly IMO.

 

[Hlakegollum]

Walnut. Good luck burning it. Maybe mix it in with maple or something. I don't like it.

 

[freemind]

Shows what I know. I would have said a large mullberry.

 

[Joshlaugh]

With that dark heartwood, I would say black walnut.

with the green and dark brown it sure looks like alien walnut to me. What part of the country did this come from area 51?

I have black walnuts on my property and they look just like that other than the green tint between the dark and light. My wife says I just dont pay good enough attention though.

Im new to burning this season, but the load i purchased before i started scrounging was all walnut and it has burned excellent. I love it, I still have about 1/2 rick left and i'll be sorry to see it go.

Could have had some serious money in that log. My neighbor sold a few Walnut logs like that and got $600 out of the deal. ( circa December 2008) Roughly $100 per log. I wouldn't believe him but I seen the load, and the check later, and the subsequent shed he built after that.


I never liked burning that stuff either. Split em small and mix them in with other species, everything should be fine

I totally agree

I thought it was walnut too, the blue/green ring looked extra bright blue though, hadnt seen one with that color blue/green before. Walnut should burn ok, if seasoned well. There was no wire in that log, splits well. Around here, there are only 2 millls. They only sell lumber to homeowners, hobby people, etc. Around here trees aint worth much as lumber, only firewood.

presence of steel (usually a farmers fence row ) is what can give that strange green or blue color i n the ring pattern ..big mills that have a big sawing operation will reject otherwise excellent logs if theres any color like that becuase it will ruin their blades which can cost high amounts of money

The blue/Green color on the log is bar & chain oil.
