So I got some beautiful looking wood from a neighbor courtesy of Irene.
The center is white/blonde and the bark is gray, thinly furrowed. Leaves were single oblong w/ point 4-5" long. Had single teeth all around. Neighbor said ash but according to my field ID guide it's some type of elm.
Started splitting today and wow, fights all the way. The grain is long even and large. Looks like it will split easy and sometimes it does but mostly it's a struggle.
Any ideas from the experts?
