Can you post some photos . of it as longas most here can see the bark and granthey might I d it
if you are going ot burn a lot go ot a library and get a book on Id in trees copy the photos as well as read it and you will havea good idea or you can go tot a online book store and buy some . Baileys has books also .

Awhile ago I started a post called "Excellent book for identifying trees". Look it up, and you'll find a LOT of helpful books on that post. Good luck!

There is a "search" option about 1 1/2" to the left of your user name, last visit, private messages, etc. in the green strip. Put in the thread title and hit go-it's that easy.

If I was a betting man, I would bet there are a lot of different trees across our great nation. Some specific to certain areas. If I have this right, you are looking for someone to take a bunch of pictures of bark and wood grain of the trees specific to your region (Kentucky) and post them? There would be 3 or 4 pictures of each tree/wood type in different stages of decay anywhere from just blown down to 3 years out cut up into firewood size?

There have been a few responses to this thread, and the suggestions have been good ones.

How about taking a bunch of pictures and posting them for the AS members to look at, discuss, have fun with, and try to get you an opinion? You could then keep a library of the responses on your hard drive, compile them and then post a thread about it.

Hey I have an idea! Maybe one of us can travel on down to KY and ID 'ole Jerry's cut up trees in person. That way he wouldn't have to take the time to find the search function, find a book, post a pic or in any way try to help himself with the advice offered. We could go on a rotation for like a week at a time. Can we camp in your yard Jerry?

 

[begleytree]

I'm going to recommend a book that I've recommended to others trying to ID firewod.
it's named knowing your trees and was put out by the PA dept of agri. has excellent pics of trees, leaves and grest pics of the bark of each. book is somewhat dated, but trees have not chenged. available on ebay quite cheaply.

This site is Tough Love!!

Notice how I strategically did not say "I" would identify the wood for him. BTW 1 out of 24 ain't bad. (Okay, yes it is!!)
