Recently a bad storm in my neck of the woods. Lots of trees down. Unfortunately, many homes damaged too. Saw some tree damage that is just terrible. Some people have watched their homes incur some major damage, huge trees and torrential rain. Lots of snapped trees hanging 50 feet off the ground, leaners all over. No joke storm damage. I have been scrounging though. Will be doing so for months. too many locust trees down to count. looks like blowdowns in some areas (thankfully in the woods) of some areas I have seen. Although I am proud of the amount of work it took to get this wood in my driveway, after taking some wood out of someone's back yard and seeing their house after a 48" wide base tree fell from the neighbors yard and wreaked literal destruction upon it, I actually wish I didn't have this opportunity to get the wood. But here is my pile. The pile in the forefront of some of the pics I have identified as an oak . Extremely heavy and solid, in some pieces I have seen an oak grain, and there were some small branches left behind by tree service that were clearly oak leaves. My FIL says it is a maple but there were zero maple leaves around and I looked as my identification skills are basic right now. I do, however, know what locust looks like as you can see. Can some of you with more knowledge weigh in??
