    The neighbor gave it to me, but I don't know what it is. Looks like two different trees though.

    Looks like more than one kind. Looks like maple with the bark...possibly norway. The barkless is hard to say.

    I see Ash and the last pic I'd say Bitternut Hickory, but I guess could be Norway Maple too.
    Nice Score!

    I see possibly several different kinds maybe 3. That red barkless heartwood looks like cherry or red elm in #070, I see possibly ash in #071 & #072, #073 not as sure but a maple or hickory.

    Yeah, now that it's mentioned, I see that the barkless rounds are different. I couldn't even guess without a pic of one split though.
  12. Ralphie Boy Minister of Fire

    Ash, maple, maybe Norway, and something else as well. In the end I don't think it matters who gets it right because you get it right as it's all good firewood, and at the right price==c
  13. Flatbedford Minister of Fire

    If the first one splits easy, its Ash. If is nearly impossible to split it is Elm. Second is Norway Maple

    I think the one in the first picture with bark on it is Ash. I am not sure about the barkless one, but if I had to guess I'd say Elm. The last photo shows what I think is a hickory. The bark looks sort of like Tulip Poplar, but the white wood and what I think is the beginning of a dark center looks like hickory - perhaps pignut hickory.

    Split pics and end-grain closeups might help here. I think the first is White Ash, last is some type of Hickory. That barkless with thin, white sapwood looks a bit dark for Red Elm...could be Mulberry...tell us how much it sparks. ==c Red Elm split would probably be a bit stringy.
