Cottonwood or Oak.I’m no expert could this be red maple or something else?
Does it smell? How about a pic of one split ,any leaves from the tree?I wondered the oak thing as it’s pretty heavy but also still green.
If it is cottonwood it will split down the center with great difficulty and the resulting split will be Z shaped. After 100# dries you will have about 25# of wood assuming you keep it dryI’m no expert could this be red maple or something else?
Chestnut Oak has the big furrowed bark.It’s some sort of oak, it ain’t maple.
show us twigs or endgrain. Cottonwood twigs will be quite bulbous, oak end grain will show the raysI’m no expert could this be red maple or something else?
Yup the center looks a bit like Oak but the bark looks like Cottonwood.The heartwood sure looks dark--that's the only thing that throws me. But everything else screams cottonwood.
cottonwood that I have cut had dark heartwood. I cut it only out necessity!!!The heartwood sure looks dark--that's the only thing that throws me. But everything else screams cottonwood.
sometimes when I am in the woods looking at a tree I have to look at bark, twigs, endgrain and leaves to be absolutely certain, every species will have some variation. The I go to visit mom in south Mississippi and have to start all over again because they look different down there.All branches were gone when I got there. I’m sure there are some there laying around but it’s not to important to me was just wondering if anyone could tell by the logs.
That’s funny. We have poplar here but this seems way to dense imo. I’m in Indiana btw.I can't believe we made it this far into the thread without....
It's firewood!
Looks like a Cottonwood which is a type of Poplar.I’m no expert could this be red maple or something else?
