double wood id

[pyroholic]

I am thinking the one is mulberry. Not bad since a friend asked if they could bring some boxelder by they wanted rid of. I figured I'd burn it in the fire pot. When the 1/2 cod of mulberry showed up I was pleasantly surprised.

The other splits are really my question. Some kind of oak maybe.
Here is what I've been working on the past few days. This should put me at about 13 cords. Not bad considering i started in March this year.

Maybe time to join the FWHC

The gray stuff is from slabs cut last winter then cut to stove length this week. I could get a pic of a fresh end.
The wood is very solid and heavy and still at 35% after a year of being in 10 foot long splits. That's what made me think oak, but maybe maple. There was some leaves on a round of the same stuff that were maple shaped, but variegated. Looked like it was naturally variegated, not like it was sick. I am not too sure so that is why I'm asking.

The mulberry(?) turns a deep orange after a day or two in the open. Is that typical?

Yes it can turn quickly. My experience with Mulberry is that it holds moisture and is very heavy. It gets lighter and darker almost red brown when seasoned. Great stuff though. Worth the wait. 2or3 years.

The bark could be oakish, but the face isn't. Split that slab so we can see a fresh face on it.

This last pic really captures the essence of the hobby. A splitter on the left, a big pile of splits in the middle, a pickup on the right, and a Stihl chainsaw resting in the bed. A work of art!

Funny that I was told some boxelder was being dropped of and it turned out to be mulberry.

On Monday I got about another cord and a half of slabs and rounds sitting there ready to add to the split pile now too. That's going to be a mountain before I get it stacked.

Went and stacked for a couple hours for a buddy this evening to build some favor time to get mine done. Just more fun with a buddy and some brews. After that I installed a set of 2500hd springs in my truck to replace the broken 1500 spring that snapped with a load a couple weeks back. Worked 8 hours before that. Long, productive day.
