Added some color to the woodpile

[wishlist]

In mid- Michigan its ash, ash, and more ash. I'm not complaining but variety is the spice of life! Since our weather is on par with bogydave ....lol , I thought a few pics with snow would really show just how "chocolate brown" this wood is. I've got close to a dozen more trees to cut. On the left is oak for a comparison.

I love the color of a nice seasoned cherry split. It begs to be woodworked and not burned. I'm not sure of what you have there though.

Hey wishlist I was out in your neck of the woods today! :lol: Had to run to Maple Rapids,St.Johns,Ovid,Corunna,and Vernon! I was checking out peoples woodpiles all the way there!

Hey, Ash is my fav. We call it the Oak of the North. I burn it exclusively. It's pretty much that or Birch for hardwoods around here.

I think that dark wood looks like Walnut.

 

[bogydave]

Well it's not birch or spruce.
Don't look dark enough for black walnut, has a reddish tint to it.
Cherry is my guess.
or are you saying it's "ash" ?
What snow, I see some white dust :lol:
8° was our high today. (5° last night)
forecast for your area says 30s & 40s with a mix of rain & snow, Yukky stuff. Next week you might get some cold weather, teens forecast.

Gary, give me a shout next time. We can do lunch!

Dave, its currently 35. What's a few less degrees or a little more snow? I think I can see the northern lights! Oh wait, thats the neighbors Christmas tree! Lol.....

It's not walnut, ash, or cherry. I haven't seen many pics here of this wood. I'll give sav and zap a chance at a guess!

 

[bogydave]

Red Alder ?
I bet you can almost se Russia too. LOL :lol:

Cedar.

 

[basswidow]

I'll be curious to know too, as I think I have some in my wood pile. Does it split easier then anyother wood?

 

[wishlist]

It's Apple. I've burned just small amounts before, branches from my trees, never had the chance to burn great amounts. Should have a good cord when I'm finished clearing this old orchard. Lots of trees, just not a lot of the main trunk. It smells great! Splits easy with the hydraulic splitter.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Hey wishlist, is that cedar?

 

[Jags]

Huh, would never have guessed apple. Doesn't look anything like apple that I have cut. Should be nice burning stuff. Maybe hold a little back for the BBQ?

 

[oldspark]

Me either, the apple I take off my trees is much whiter than that.

 

[ScotO]

I have a cord of applewood that I exclusively use for smoking and grilling on my outdoor firepit.......nothing beats the smell of that stuff burning, and it makes steaks, jerky, and chicken taste out of this world!.....and it lasts a good while when used for firewood.....so I would have to say you got a great pick there, if you don't want it heck I may come out and get it off of ya!

 

[ScotO]

Me either, the apple I take off my trees is much whiter than that.

the white is sapwood, the dark auburn is heartwood......all of the apple I have cut here in central PA (and I've cut a lot of it) has that same makeup and color.....

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Nope, I'd never guessed that was apple.

 

[firefighterjake]

I'm going to guess apple.

Now that you mention it . . . yeah . . . looks like the apple I cut . . . older apple tree . . . lots of dark heartwood, only a bit of white outer wood.

 

[bogydave]

"Red delicious" apple to be specific
