I was told this is Ash. It was two years standing dead. This was the hardest dry wood I ever cut.

Ash

 

[ggans]

White?

 

[oldspark]

Yes I would say white ash.

 

[smokinj]

White?

I think so, green will normally have a green moss looking stuff on the bark. (not sure what the green stuff is)

I would say white ash also, we have some on the back hill.

+1 White Ash.
burn Ash , get Ash. Good wood, dries quick.

Looks like white ash to me . . . one of my favorite go-to wood to cut, split and burn.

Do you need one more guy to say it is Ash? lemme know and I'll say it. looks like ash, and there are lots of standing dead ash around your area.

So this was standing dead for two years so I'm told and it looked like it. It's been in my yard a few days now after I bucked it and is starting to crack. I thought it was ready to burn but the cracking is making me wonder, please advise...

The smaller limbs, maybe, the trunk, probably not until possibly the end of the winter, even though they are cut really short. ;-)

Then I'll stack it on pallets for next year. If I run out of my wood below I have some Locust cut last fall but not split until a few months ago, that's why it's on my deck, lots of wind and sun, and it's hot there. My other choice is some maple, this wood seems to be drying fast too, got it in big rounds in March I think. which should I use first? I have some seasoned wood to go through first so I should not get into any of the rest until January.

ggans, I cut some ash last winter that had been dead for a year. That is, the summer of 2008 it had some leaves but in 2009 there were no leaves. I would not have hesitated to burn that wood right after I cut the stuff. I was looking at that wood just yesterday and it is about as dry as some six year old wood we have. So, if you need it, burn it.
