I got these on a scrounge. Can anyone tell what they are for sure?

Thanks in advance!

Elm.

At first blush I too would guess elm for the bark, lack of bark in the other pic, stringiness and color.

Also go with elm for at least most of it. Dutch Elm specifically.

No idea! Lol

Do you really mean Dutch Elm . . . or American Elm that has been affected by Dutch Elm Disease?

American Elm

definately elm

Thanks everyone--I appreciate it.

I assume that if I CSS it now elm would be okay by Nov./Dec. 2013 to burn. It looks like wood that would dry pretty fast.

I go with the crowd.... Elm.

I'll throw the monkey wrench in and say it's hickory.
Are the bark free rounds from the same tree? Any limb wood?

All Elm

I'm not sure but I think they are from different trees. I think picture 2 is the split version of picture 3. I think picture 1 is a differnt type of wood. I was originally thinking Hickory for picture 1 as well, but it doesn't seem heavy/dense enough to be hickory. There was a mixture of things I got from this scrounge. From the picture on craigslist I thought it was all locust, and I did get some of that too (not pictured), but at least half of it seems to be the elm rounds in picture 3.

I wouldn't bank on that; I think it is supposed to need two years. My only experience has been with Red Elm, and with that, even splits that started out pretty dry were rather slow to dry the rest of the way. Looks like some of those rounds the bark has fallen off. Those might be ready by this Fall...

If it's all you've got to burn then I guess it might be okay in December IF split smallish, single stacked & in a good location. I like to give elm a year minimum.

Yep, that's elm.......
