OK, what is it

[lone wolf]

we have that wood here but i don't know what it is. very light when dry.splits easy. i'll ask my 85 year old dad but he will probably give me some kind of old farmer name that won't help.

Ask him what do we have to lose at this point?

Good God you guys are worse than a women nagging. Some of us cut wood and don't just take pictures of it.


I am calling this maple??

I'll go with red elm??

Beetles under the bark.

I've cut a few Chinese Chestnut trees. The Wood splits easier than oak the grain looks similar to this. But, it's heavy but he says it's light. What about what I think is the white walnut in the first split piece?

I ain't seeing White Walnut.

Chestnut has a density slightly higher than aspen so maybe you guys are right. I was having a brain fart and thinking chestnut oak which of course is quite dense.

OP can you find more of these trees standing?

 

[lone wolf]

Chestnut here.

I have 2 American Chestnut trees in my yard. I don't think that's it. Sorry!

Any chance there are leaves anywhere?

Could the darker stuff be chinkapin?

 

[c5rulz]

What is the range of those? Do they grow in the midwest?

Not that I know of... Mainly a tree of the Pacific Northwest.

I made a mistake on where the Chinkapin listed above grows. This tree is native to the SE US, and not the Pacific NW. There is a shrub/tree that is locally called Chinkapin in the Pacific NW, but it is not the same as the one listed above. In any event, neither are usually found in Wisconsin...
