Looking for a picture

A while back a guy posted a picture of his scrounge and in the center of the round that he cut it looked like a splash...i think I got some of this and wanted to see a picture of a split and if it is any good for fire wood...the tree fell in the woods next to my house so it is REALLY convenient.

Almost any wood is good for firewood, especially if it is convenient and you need wood.

Correct it is but I want to know if this is a overnight long burn type, during the day type, or shoulder season. Trying to manage the stacks better. For example got a cord of oak that I put in a very sunny windy rack on my property and didn't mix anything else with it.

not sure but big hard maple looks like that.

You say it looked like a splash.? Was it redish colored? I have seen this in box elder, if that is what you are talking about.

I know the pictures you are talking about. They were pretty cool. I dont think there was any identifications made on them.

Why don't you post a picture of what you found?

A red splash would, most likely, be box elder. They tend to "fall over" They also don't usually grow long, straight trunks. Look for opposite branching. Being in the maple family it will have opposite branching. If you have both you've box elder.

By any chance was it this?

yes little lighter and darker in some spots....what is it? not very heavy and a bit of a pain to split the larger rounds

Rory, my mind just went blank and I can't even find that thread. I'll try again later.

Wormy soft maple.
Furniture makers call it Ambrosia Maple.

as the first person replied said its wood and it's convenient. mixed some of it with some oak that i got.

Maple

Yep. Sugar maple often time has a star like heartwood that disappears after splitting. Bigger round on the right is sugar maple and has the star like look, though smaller than some of the others....just all I have in a picture on my computer.

Thanks Lee. My mind was just going blank last night. Seems to be happening way too often any more....

So is this worth my while? Still have the larger part of the trunk left

Yes Rory, it is worth your while.
