Wood ID again...

Have two types of wood to identify to decide which stack to go on...the hardwood or softwood pile.

1) Some friends were trimming some trees and were bringing us the wood. The trees they were trimming were oak, maple, & a willow tree. No real smell to it.


2) The second was one of the ivy covered trees that we had cut.
Thought it was all pine, but the one wasn't. No leaves at all due to the ivy. Some of the cores were almost jet black when I split and it smelled kind of gross.


Thanks...appreciate the help.


Edit: Uploaded the wrong photo at first ...darn fat fingers and small interwebbery device!

Thanks! Never burned pear but have a pallet of poplar for the shoulder season.
Have one more....sweet smell and many of the splits are a deeper red. Again no leaves due to the ivy, but split real easy.
