Over the past few weekends I've been getting on some blowdowns in my woods around the house. Finally got about all the big ash ( 22" at the stump ) up from the creek bed. I couldn't count the rings at the outside as tight as they were but it was over 120 years old, borer got to it

After work today I went and finished halving the ash and bringing the chunks up to my splitting area, and I wandered around to some other blowdowns. One 12" cherry was punky even though it was off the ground so I went to this guy, and surprised it was solid. I thought it was dogwood by the bark but it has the BB hole for ash in the center. Dry as a bone, smells like tobacco fresh split

And the stockpile minus another 1/2 cord I split and stacked already. I'm thinking close to 2 cord total

So I'm figuring ash but the bark has me second guessing
