i have maple here a hammer will stick in that ,looks more like petrified wood by the sound

 

[blsnelling]

Ok, ok, I'll get a pic of the bark, lol.

 

[blsnelling]

I'm still thinking it looks like Ash.

 

[Jon1212]

B Rad I believe you are correct. The "woven" pattern in the bark is indicative of Ash............so I guess all I can say is "Nice Ash".......................

 

[blsnelling]

A friend brought me this wood. It was likely standing dead or already on the ground, probably killed by the Emerald Ash Bore.

 

[blsnelling]

Yes, I'm a little bored tonight It won't last though!

Was I aiming for something?

Brad I think you need to build yourself a hardness tester... something similar to the Janka hardness tester maybe.

That will give you a good idea of how hard the wood really is.

 

[Trx250r180]

most of the wood i cut is still alive ,when maples been down a year or so it gets harder to cut ,but not like that tree,with a fresh chain usually get 3/4 inch long chips or so with fir ,if you cut the noodle way some strings are a foot long

i think you need a life brad:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: nothing like beating up on a poor defenseless log

 

[kev1n]

Don't injure your rotator cuff pounding on that hardwood. We'll have to get a charity running for you if you keep that up.:biggrin:

 

[blsnelling]

OK, I got unbored, guys, lol. I just finished spraying 100 gallons of 2-4-D broadleaf weed killer over 2 acres

 

[wendell]

Ask me no questions....I'll tell you no lies I hope to bee able to reveal it tomorrow.

You got the saw autographed by Andreas Stihl! :msp_thumbsup:

 

[Philbert]

He put on a new-old-stock tank without flippy caps?

[tbone75]

He painted it purple :waaaht:

Brad it could be any number of trees in our area. The bark looks like white or Blue Ash, maybe White Oak, I've even seen some Elm look similar, it's hard to tell without the leaves or seeing and smelling it in person..:smile2: I still haven't found much harder than Hickory around here, but Locust, Osage orange come to mind..
