Is this Tulip?

[Auzzie Gumtree]

Just picked up a couple of loads of what i think is tulip or Australia's equivalent any ideas? Very clean looking wood. I didn't bother with the hydraulics just the Fiskars. About 1/2 cord.

Definetely outback poplar. Really have no idea of trees on the other side, under the world. Kind of looks like a mix between oak wood and box elder bark. Good day mate.

Bark is different than the tulip here. Whats the split face look like? A little green?

A little green?

Its actually the whitest wood i have seen. That maybe due to the fact its sitting on top of some redwood i got last week.

Very easy to split with a very straight grain. Quite heavy, much heavier that the redwood but it could just be the water content. I did talk to the guy who was cutting it down and he said it burns pretty well. I asked him if he was burning it now and he said yes we had a cold spell last week. I was stunned - first he was giving away good wood (anything that splits this easy in my books is good wood) and secondly he was burning 'wet' wood. I tried to explain the virtues of burning seasoned wood but........

Gday - its definitely a learning curve all these different types of wood. I'm not a wood snob (yet) if i can carry it and split it it goes into my stash. Its pretty good around here with over 80% of all woods collected hardwood's, the majority of which are Gum which are right at the top of the burning charts.
