Found this on CL and don't know what it is or if it is worth going to get...any ideas

Tough to tell. Looks like a young maple of some sort.

Kinda sorta looks like some type of maple. But don't matter too much what it is. If it's close and it's free it's worth it!

 

[RORY12553]

It's close to my job but not my house...would be several trips on the way home from work but would cherry pick the smaller rounds and leave the rest.

Poplar

 

[nrford]

Tulip for sure

If it is tulip i'm glad i posted here before goign to get it...people haven't answered me back yet anyway...thanks all

Tulip poplar is the first thing that came to my mind.

How big can poplar get? Have another pic of the same tree that the base is massive but looks different thatn the top.

Rory, tulip poplar can get to some very large sizes. It is or was a very popular tree for lumber and I've seen pictures of some very large trees.

Is it worth getting?? It's on the way home from work and would only take the smaller pieces

 

[Woody Stover]

Tulip usually have a nice straight trunk.

If it's easy to get, I would grab it. Split it on the small side and use it for starter wood. Lights fast and burns hot. Dries pretty quick and should be ready this Fall if you get it stacked soon.

There is a ton of it...guy that i got wood from he lives down the road and said there is probably 4 dump truck loads of the stuff which is more than i want...i will cherry pick it and take the small easy stuff...i will use it for the fall and mix it with other hardwoods

I would take any wood that is free, cut to length, and not too far away. Stop every day and get some and before you know it you'll have a ton.

I agree it looks like Tulip Poplar, which is a pretty nice firewood in my experience.
