Another wood ID thread...

[Bocefus78]

Took a unusual way to work today and came across this. Any ideas? Had a yellowish color...more than the pics show. Locust hopefully? I was in my beater car and my tree ID book was in the truck Anyway, fire away. Best part is, it free, theres gobs and gobs of it, and 2 miles from home. Thanks!

I would rule out honey locust - I have several near the house, and the bark does not match.

does poplar grow in your area ?


in a ( regrowth) race for canopy space here the poplar loses to the white pine and all I ever find is dead rotten standing poplar

 

[chinkapin_oak]

looks like cottonwood, or possibly tulip-poplar.

 

[Bocefus78]

Tulips round here are smooth. Not tulip for sure.

 

[smokinj]

I am rolling with Cottonwood!

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Populus deltoides. Look at the trapazoid shaped bark. Look for mega huge buds.

Yellow poplar or Tulip

As long as you have room, I'd call a pile of logs like that 2 miles from home hard to argue with no matter what it is.

 

[Bocefus78]

Room is an issue so I'm picky

i think Tulips this large would have ridged bark, but I don't think that is Tulip. I think it is cottonwood, like several others have said.

Rings were pretty large....its probably junk cottonwood and also explains why its just sitting. Around here there's all the hdwd you want. Just ask smokinjay . Thanks all.

[Bocefus78]

I can hear deer creek from my woodpiles......traffic sucks on concert nites for me. I'm less than a mile away.

How does a guy in Syracuse NY know about deer creek?

And you can remember it? :cheese:

 

[Bocefus78]

I assumed it was the dead......nobody forgets where the fences came down.

 

[SolarAndWood]

I dont remember any stories about fences?

 

[Bocefus78]

Can't remember what year....maybe 95.....the whole lot scene literally rioted,tore down the fences, just to see the show. Mass chaos ensued.65,000 hippies are hard to stop. Still to this day, nobody is allowed to play 3 day sets here thanks to that night. If I also remember, this all happened like a week before jerry died. I'm not a head, never was, but for some reason, sounds right. Just some random history for ya from the creek....now known to most as Verizon wireless music center.

Motley Crew I was there! lol Awesome.......................Girls Girls Girls.

You are right, July 2nd 1995. Complete with tear gas, police in riot gear and beatings. Sounds like it was ugly. Glad I wasn't there.

That said, you and smokin live in a beautiful spot. And, back to your logs, if you are tight on space hanging with Jay seems like a better option.
