Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Cowboy254]

What type of wood is this? Sorry for the poor pics, it was a drive-by as I was late for a meeting.

You know your a real scrounger when you go to a bar with your wife and low and behold they are clearing the property line and there some nice sticks laying there. I was going to throw them in my bed of my pickup until I noticed the viper eyes of my wife looking at me like I really lost my mind lol. I'm gonna go back with out her hahaha

should have sent her back to the bar for a six pack and threw some in the truck.

With the brown staining in the center I think you are right.

"No, no, I said two six packs. Just nip back and grab another one, won'tcha luv"?

*tosses more sticks in truck*

I think that's right based on some googling. I grabbed some.

Either way you cannot go wrong. White ash is fantastic wood as well.

I only cut eastern hardwoods a couple days a year so I am not always dead accurate on ID's though.

Doesn't look criss crossed enough to be ash but the depth of the bark is about right. The first pick it looked like ash bark but the pic in the truck bed it doesn't. I'd go with the hickory then even though I have never seen one in the wild.

Man those are some wide rounds. That was one large tree.i would go get more, unless that was it.

assiming your Ash is like ours, the bark on those rounds is far too thick for Ash.

Larger white ash can get fairly thick bark. Black ash has thinner bark.

Ill agree with @svk I've cut a large ash tree that had bark like this, but it was the same color throughout when you looked at the rounds. The brown middle of this threw me off.

So I got a new wallet for Christmas. In the process of moving into it, I found many gift cards I had forgotten about. So much that now I am using my old wallet as a gift card wallet. I was walking around TSC the other day and saw all the fiskars were 20% off but I didn’t have enough cash to make up the difference. So I patiently waited for my allowance and then hustled my behind in there and got the last one! I am hoping it’s all they are cracked up to be. I’d be out there with a floodlight trying it out but my wife went out to see that 50 shades movie so I’m saving my energy just in case tonight is one of the two times my ticket is up this year. I can always attack it with a fury tomorrow.... the wood pile that is.

My guess is Tulip Tree. The little angled piece and the one with the rope in it look like younger Tulip tree bark, or I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Looks like some elm I’ve cut before.

I've been cutting a few diff trees up that I can't identify, so far all have been good enough to burn (been testing them out as I cut them to see if I've wasted my time or not, so far so good. Looks like nice wood to me, so long as she burns I don't care what they call it.
