While y'all are trying identify therival's scrounge I got one for you to. Easiest wood I ever split!!!
looks exotic. probably rural walnut.
and you need a new gate.
welcome to AS @Therival. i don't think it is pine from the looks of the growth rings. possibly cherry. have you split any? someone more edumatcated than me will be along shortly.
Hi Clint.
Thanks for the warm welcome friend. Working hard to get myself a stock pile of wood for the new wood burner i put in last fall. This is my latest score of red oak

@farmer steve the wood covers the holes 
Looks like the perfect candidate for Swedish candles.
Looks like Black Walnut, to me. Burns nice. Adds a crackle & pop to your fire.
It's not spruce , pine or fir
BTW , I'd be all over that 10$ spruce if I was close lol

Well , the BLaw officially sucks lol
He runs a dog rescue one of the people that had adopted one of his dogs had her father then husband pass away so she decided to sell the farm and move back to Ontario .
She gifted this to the Blaw
Fully serviced , 4 new tires , back ones loaded , a set of forks and a round bale spike .
He couldn't stop the tears as she handed him the keys and the papers .
Just like winning the loto .

I think this is absolutely the king sucketh in history... Enjoy it man..
An experiment: Cut two dead trees down yesterday. The Red Maple was dead & dry, but the Black Birch still has high moisture content. Well, it is still so darn hot today, I decided to try an experiment with solar drying! Unfortunately, I missed the hottest few days, but we will see how this does any way.
It currently registers 30 on my moisture meter, compared to my Hickory boards (a few months old) coming in at 8.
Need a lot of room to do it, but will see how it works. Hey, the Sun is there, may as well take advantage of it!

Duncan, I could use an address where she is moving to here in Ontario. My current provider isn't so keen on me buying anymore firewood toys so I'm looking for another one. The sawmill was the last straw she said, then I bought 2 trailer frames, the big shelter and there is another sale this Saturday. I'm going to be away from home 5 days a week for the next coupe of months and I'm pretty sure she's gonna auction my stuff off while I'm away. I'm keeping an eye out on all the auction sites looking for my stuff.
Local farmer friend is doing a bunch of work and has a few trees he wants gone, a spruce, a maple, couple small ash and this frightening mess! The trunk in front wraps behind and so forth. I looked at it for a while. It's gonna be like cutting down a puzzle.

@Therival I agree with @farmer steve on that wood being cherry. The scally bark is a dead giveaway for cherry. I have a bunch of it in my woods.

Justjeff, likely a fair bit of fence wire in them ash too. Time to borrow a saw off someone? Nice sized wood though. Beans are drying up quick here and lots of guys have started combining. I'm going to be spending my weekends in the bush soon.
I've cut a dozen fence line trees for this guy and haven't come across any wire yet. Touch wood! Hope I didn't just jinx myself!
