I picked up a load of maple and the seller gave me an unknown log. I tried to look it up and I'm thinking either basswood, poplar, or willow but not sure.
Anyone have a guess at what it might be?

I will try and get a piece split. All the wood just got buried under snow from the weekend before I could buck it all upMaybe Cottonwood? Can we see a clean split? How heavy is it?
The chainsaw cut through it like butterDon't even need to see the bark to agree with the basswood id. Fuzzy end grain after cut is a give away.
The bark was stringy on a broken branch/log. How would I tell if it was cotton wood?Basswood. Mess with the bark and you'll find it stringy.
It's not. It's basswood. Get it cut split and off the ground. It rots fast and dries fast. It's in a lot of hardwood mix bundles because it lights quick and coals up well. I burned a few cords of it this year in my OWB for shoulder season and couldn't complain.The bark was stringy on a broken branch/log. How would I tell if it was cotton wood?
