As I was driving home today, I saw a whole pile of rounds left by the utility trimming crew at a neighbor's house. Looked like ash and he was in his driveway, so I stopped to see if I could have it. He said yes, and then I walked over to the pile and saw that it was definitely not ash, a very light wood with a dark heartwood and scarlet streaks running through it. (Sorry, no pics). And, it was mostly all cut to lengths that are going to make it a pain to stack. But, I figured I was already committed so i took it but now have over a half cord of wood I don't want. Oy vey.
