Is it Tulip ? How much wood do you think is there? I live 5 min away.

Thank you guys, no burning styrofoam for me
It's far from worthless. It's great kindling and good for those times when you really don't need a hot long burning fire
Yeah, but guy wants $150 for it
Tulip poplar tends to have much deeper ridges and a darker bark. That looks like Ash to me. Still not worth $200.
Pretty sure it's Poplar, magnify the picture and you can tell by the center of the rounds and the coloring of it.
I have both types in my stacks right now, so I went and took a look. I think you're right. Hard to get a clear sense of the bark pattern, but after magnifying the picture it looks very much like poplar, just not as pronounced. And you're right about the cross sections--has that typical "muddled" grain of poplar. I didn't pay much attention to that when I first posted. Either way, the guy should be paying someone else to come haul it away for him.
