another wood ID

[gilraine]

I just brought home about a cord and a half of this wood and I have no idea what it is....it splits easy, is fairly light and had a sweet smell when I cut it..View attachment 217412View attachment 217414View attachment 217415
I think it may be apple, but I have never cut any apple before.

 

[kwalshy]

the bark looks like apple to me

 

[Whitespider]

Looks more like cherry to me.

 

[banshee67]

definitely cherry

the bark, the white sapwood, the pinkish heart wood, no doubt about it

 

[Bushmans]

Make that three for Cherry!
Love the way it smells when it burns.
Pops though, sometimes big ones that make me get off the couch and go check the fireplace:msp_w00t:

Another vote for Wild Cherry, just loaded the furnace with a mix of it and some denser (Oak, Shag Bark Hickory) good firewood!!good score!

 

[stihl in ky]

My vote is cherry also.

Everyone has already said cherry so I'm going with Cheery.

Good "shoulder" season wood and it does smell great.

What is meant by "shoulder season"? Sorry, not familiar with all of the wood burning terms.

Spring and fall, outside of the hard winter burning season.

Another vote for cherry. All the apple I have ever cut doesnt split easy at all.

First clue on apple is...it smells like apple! Good wood, but sucks to split. Clue two..you might notice you are standing in a "forest" where all the trees are sorta in neat rows...., with a big old farmer with veins coming out on his forehead, holding a shootemupgun, staring at you hard, with your chainsaw in hand and buncha cut down trees lying around.... That's the second clue it proly wasn't apple, because I bet ya didn't see that....

You have ...that other fruitwood...forget what it is called now...got a bunch...shari...that's it, shari wood! Some name like that....

 

[climberjones]
