ID wood from CL ad

[bluedogz]

Freshly-cut locust is HEAVY. Dunno abt. poplar though...

But your picture does make it clear- that there is DEFINITELY free wood. No question.

Picked up the wood today. By no means do I consider myself an expert on species, but I know for sure it was NOT locust and I am not certain if it is ash. Almost positive it is poplar. I say this because it was not too heavy and I had poplar before. One of the pics includes a split piece. I am not complaining because it is free but I was a little disappointed. What do you think?

Green Ash cut last weekend.

Here's how you can tell; look at the flat cut-side of a round and if there is a little "pinhole" there in the center then it is Ash. I have found this to hold true time and time again.

Does this saw make my Ash look big? Largest slab in back is 4.5 x 15 x 19 inches.Will be a great seat for a stout footstool or small bench in 3 years or so....Most likely I'll resaw it again in a year or so.

Try a milk crate- hear they're very useful.

Useful for sure but a cushion on it helps a lot! I like the "hot seat" cushions.

Oh you need that cushion, you don't want waffle ass!

No way. Looks like my "ash" is wrong again. Thanks for the help. Appears as though I got some ash. I can't believe it, but there was a pinhole at the center of every round. And, I split some and it split, suprisingly, easy. All the poplar I have ever split is tough to split with the axe. Thanks guys.
