Scrounged some mixed wood last week and was trying to figure out what it is. There was a little bit of pine which was easy to figure out but I’m not too sure about the rest. First one I think is Cherry?
2nd is some kind of Oak? White?
How about this stuff? It’s heavy like a hardwood and while the grain seems relatively straight it is an absolute bear to split. Nothing really worked - X27, 8# maul, wedge and sledge. The Fiskars would bounce back quite a bit and when I finally got some of it apart it’s a little stringy as you can see in the pics. Maybe Elm?
