Wood ID time

[jrider]

Not sure what kind of tree this is. Found one log of it in my pile. Had no distinct odor of any kind and is pretty dense.

 

[farmer steve]

are you familiar with mullberry? bark and wood color look like it but the growth rings throw me off.

 

[panolo]

I was gonna say by the rings it doesn't look dense at all but the picture could skewing the actual size.

Yes, it's definitely not mulberry

The growth rings are pretty good size. Maybe it's holding a lot of water weight?

are the splits heavy or light?

 

[moondoggie]

Might be sassafras...

 

[J.W Younger]

Looks like pine to me.

 

[panolo]

Might be sassafras...

That was gonna be my guess.

 

[Woodcutteranon]

Looks like pine to me.

Pine... +2

 

[Motorsen]

Poplar/aspen. Leave it to rot! If wet near the ground it will be gone very fast. Splits like a pain and holds lots of water when fresh. Not worth the effort in my book.

Looks like a hybred poplar we have here. Heavy when wet light when dry. Woof wood we call it. Throw it in the fire, woof, it's gone. Sassafras would have a good smell to it.Does look a bit piney, but that would have a nice smell to it as well.

 

[banjobart]

Chinese elm, full of water. OK to burn when it is dry. Wet it seems like American elm that actually spits with a maul.

this is my guess as well. some kind of hybridized Elm tree. maybe a cross between the American Elm and Siberian Elm

 

[jrider]

It's certainly not pine of any sort or poplar, or sassafrass. The Chinese elm or some hyrbridized guess sounds very reasonable. It split easy with straight grains and the splits are heavy.

It's the New Jersey spruce!

 

[unclemoustache]

Good golly! What a wide range of guesses! I'm not even going to try.

 

[al-k]

Could it be red pine?

 

[buzz sawyer]

Bark and grain says Elm to me. I'm guessing the piece shown is about 6" dia so it wouldn't be hard to split.

First thing that came to my mind is Willow, by the bark and large growth rings.
