Greetings all!
My town recently began felling trees along my road for (I believe) widening purposes. Lucky me, I've scored a large quantity of wood due to this activity. I'm curious as to the species of the last two trees I've bucked and brought home. Tree "1" has thin reddish brown heartwood and gray "chunky" bark. Tree "2" has finer, more colorful bark and large diameter reddish brown heartwood which was redder before it got rained on and I split it. My friend seems to believe tree "1" is some variety of maple, and tree "2" is most likely box elder. Thoughts?
