Another wood ID?

[tla100]

Picked this stuff up at local dump for trees, twigs, grass clippings ect. It split a little tough, stringy. Burns a little on the slow side. Not sure what it is. Ideas? I usually mix with maple and burns alright. Hard to pass up free wood. Oh, it was rather wet when splitting.

Looks like black locust

 

[Whitespider]

[mainewoods]

Looks like you did good.

Cut stuff just like that earlier this fall. Siberian Elm

 

[tla100]

I was thing an elm also. It is not like the oak I have, not like some of the locust I have either.

Thanks for the replies. Looked at a couple pics on the old interwebs and bark is right on.

I say elm also. Bottom 2 pics are pretty persuasive.

one thing i've learned from this site is, if you wanna disagree with spidey about elm. get ready to be wrong. lol... i'm gonna say siberian elm NOT cause spidey said it though.

If it would have been ash, oak, walnut or any other good hardwood it probably would not have ended up at the dump. I may have jumped the gun on burning since I don't have a moisture meter.......heh

 

[Whitespider]

Oh... so now we're gonna' talk moisture meters??

NOO!! Just forget you heard that. Nobody mentioned moisture meters. They want to know about Elm. You know - wood species? I think it's hickory. What do you think?

 

[tla100]

Heh....I thought you would like that 'Spidey......

I just throw a 4x4 chunk of pine under and no worries.....

 

[tla100]

If I could grow some hickory up here I would buy a chipper and sell by the gunny sack.........at least pay for my wood addiction......a ah that didn't sound good.

Looks like black locust

I agree on Elm, no way that is Black Locust.

OK... FINE‼ Be that way than
If it is Siberian Elm (sure looks like it), and tla100 is burning it, he likely has "jumped the gun"... the bark ain't even released yet.
