Another 'guess that wood' thread

[unclemoustache]

Cut this one down for a neighbor today. Tall and skinny like a poplar. Bark looks kind of like cherry on the main trunk, but more like birch on the branches. I can't tell if the leaves are single or compound. Wood is rather sweet smelling.

At first I thought cherry. Basswood?

My cheating has paid off by mentioning two in one guess.

Yes, I think you nailed it, Del. I had a black cherry in my yard I cut down many years ago, and I remembered the bark, but the different looking bark on the branches threw me. Also the inner wood wasn't as dark as I expected.

Shoulda been some small cherries on it already, and should have had the smell to it. The bark on the main trunk and the leaves where clinchers. I am mostly colorblind so the end grain color is meh to me, I have to go mostly by texture/shape and odor.

It's nice firewood man, stack it!! Split some and get the bark off of it and chunk it up, smoker/grill wood. After is is split, a chop saw works good to make those nice fist sized chunks.

Or you can cut a lot of four inch cookies, stack them up and do superdude splitting, chips a flyin!

That is definelty black cherry. Tripping over the stuff here. Mills will pay top dollar for it but there picky. Last log I sent was at 495 per 1000 but I had two deductions and I thought the log was a beauty. If I cut it for smoking however its sold right off.

One hour on the Super Splitter and she's ready to go. Got her all done.
