It looks like Hackberry. I've cut up a few of those trees and the bark is a dead giveaway. Rough as hell.
Have not been doing much scrounging, because I don't have much space to store wood.

It's all good the next ash tree i fell I will take a pic lol
It's not all oak lol
the next 2 weeks are tho
looks like some mulberry and what my dad always called sugar nellie.(aka hackberry)Have not been doing much scrounging, because I don't have much space to store wood.
But the other day I helped a neighbor clean up a city fence line, just to get some long 'sticks' that I could use to test the magnetic firewood measuring sticks I have been playing with in another thread.
Box elder, cedar, and ? (these are separate piles). Battery saw. It all burns.

Looking damn good.View attachment 572786 View attachment 572787 View attachment 572788 For the past 2 months, I've done a complete strip and repaint on my old 16' Naden. Still work to be done but the hull is finished. I used alkyd enamel with hardener so I hope it proves to be durable. I've, gulp, even turned down a scrounge because I've been so involved with this project. Back yard is too muddy to get to my split pile anyway and I hate moving wood twice...maybe if it's hard maple. Anyways the boat really isn't scrounge related other than I bought it with firewood money . But I thought you guys might find it interesting.
Hackberry, maybe some Siberian elm, and box elder?Have not been doing much scrounging, because I don't have much space to store wood.

Ugly looking pieces. But shorter.I only had a bit of time so small load it was .I figured I try the "Shear" ...
I have heated with torn apart pallets. Fire's fire.
"Sure beats tryin to heat the house with snowballs"
Cowboy if you haven't tried it softwood is awesome stuff for getting the fire going. Big chunks of bone dry softwood followed by hardwood to slow things down.
My lesson learnt all wood will burn well if it seasoned for two years or more.
Now if I have the option I will go for eucalyptus, which I can do now as a mate has 15 acres of wooded iron bark near by.
