A little muddy scrounge

[Sinngetreu]

I saw this nice little load at the local tree dump just waiting for me. Not huge, but not bad for a quick scrounge after work.

I'm trying to figure out what the wood with the dark heart wood is. Its on the far right. The other two are Pine and Mulberry.

Tell that story about the woodchips in the water glass on the other wood ID thread. The tip one.
I think that chocolate brown can only be walnut. Its such exclusive color.

You want me to tell the story here about the wood chips?
I was having a hard time telling the difference between Osage Orange and Mulberry (they look very much alike) and one fellow said to put some wood chips in a glass of water and see if the water changed color. If it was Osage, then it would change, otherwise it will stay the same. I did that with about a half a dozen chips that I painstakingly got with a knife and put them in a glass of water (frankly, I was skeptical since I had a hard time getting chips with a knife). The next day the glass looked really yellow, two days later the water was brown.
Today, the heartwood looks really rich reddish brown color.

I would tend to agree with you about the chocolate brown color, but the bark has me stumped (bad joke, but still....).

PINE! Don't do it if you burn that stuff your hair will fall out, your lawn will die, and your neighbors will stop by and drink all you beer.

The most common wood I see like that is tulip poplar (yellow poplar). Always has that super dark "dowel" down the middle. Not sayin that's what you got, but that is really common around here.
