Firewood identification

[Roger34]

Hello! Does anyone know what kind of firewood this is? Thanks in advance!

Drawing a blank on this. Bark looks like Cherry but the end looks like walnut. Maybe Gum?

Apple

Cut and split it. A fresh split if cherry or apple will smell like a cherry or apple.

It might be Post Oak.

Hmm, there’s not a lot of Apple or gum in this area. There’s a lot of oak and popple in this area. Maybe some kind of oak?

 

[Roger34]

Walnut or some kind of oak are a strong possibility. Thanks.

Almost looks like elm.

Try to split it. Also do you have any pics of the bark without moss?

 

[Roger34]

Elm is a good possibility for this part of Wisconsin. Most of it had moss, I’ll check. So far I’m thinking elm, oak, or walnut.

What does it smell like

 

[Roger34]

It has no distinct smell, just smells like wood. It’s definitely not apple or cherry.

Hmmm... The twigs kind of remind me of apple, and so does the bark. But you say it isn't so. I don't see any obvious rays on the end grain, so, to me, that rules out oak.

I can see a little of elm in it, especially how the ends are a little fibery, and the color of the inner wood. Maybe slippery elm? However, I think I can barely see a white ring just under the bark on the top of one pic. That's a dead giveaway for American Elm. .

Do you have a pic of the bark that is not covered in moss?

 

[Roger34]

I could be wrong. Do these help?
