what do you see in this wood pile

[Jmyers8@windstream. Net]

A buddy is clearing a fence row and I got offered this truck load of wood for 200. Truck box is 12×7× about 5 ft so I'm guessing g around 2.5 cords. Just seeing what species you see in it if it's worth the price.

It's loose? It's about 1.5-1.75 cords I'd guess. Seeing a picture would help though.

Guess the picture would help

Ok, I was thinking it was processed firewood, not logs. I'd say about 2 cords, maybe 2.5. Hard to tell in piles like that.

I get people come buy with a pickup load I'm sure they worked hard to get and get flat pissed off when I tell them it's x amount when they figure 3 or 4x that.

The few times I bought, I usually ended up over estimating a bit even.

Looks like cherry and some kind of piss elm to me. I'd let it sit on his truck for awhile and see how bad he wants to get rid of it.

Might be less than two.

Tell him $100 and you'll drive and drop the load and bring the truck back for him.

I see maple ,cherry,and maybe birch.

Thanks that's what I was seeing most was cherry and a little birch. Just wanted to double check I'm gonna work him down on price.

I can get a load of oak like that for $50, so $50-$75

Silver maple and birch. I'm not so sure about the cherry. Heart wood is too light. That might also be maple.

Guy's, he's in Ohio and he said it was from a fence row. Pretty certain no birch. Look again at the ends of the 3 logs on the top of the pile to the passenger side of the truck, centers have a tinge of red/pink. Also, look at the bark towards the bottom of the logs, see how they are getting rough. Might be a stray maple in there at my 2nd glance also.

2.5 cords. Les if lots of air space ,hard to see.2 easily.

Almost looks like some poplar on that load.

 

[olyman]

[UpOnTheHill]

Looks like cherry and maple to me. I'd give $100 for it dumped at my place. Probably has some fencing in it as previously mentioned. Keep that in mind.

 

[bitzer]

Looks like mostly cherry, but i see a hickory stick front and center as well as a red oak stick way on top. Maybe two cords.

 

[jr27236]

Hickory!!! Making me hungry lol. Love smoking with hickory

Cherry and some maple. $200 is too much IMO. $100 and no more.
