Thanks - I have processed beech before - pretty sure its not beech - its not hard at all - light. Chinese Sumac....that doesn't sound tasty at all.

Yes - Chinese Sumac (aka Tree of heaven) - I just cut some of this down - real evasive stuff - I think we got a winner. It will bun but I do believe it registers high on the crap scale.
Thanks again guys.

Definitely not beech. Ive never had Tree of heaven but I'll defer to those above. From what I've read it isn't that great

It doesn't look quite like ailanthus to me. If it is ailanthus then it must have been dead and dry before it got to you. Fresh cut it is very heavy with water and stinks something fierce.
