My wood supplier strikes again - Wood ID

[Jotul_Rockland]

My wood supplied dropped off some wood. Last time he dropped off Locust, Ash and Walnut. Let's see what he has this time. I told him No Oak and only premium hardwood.

Wonder what the new batch is.

Ash & maple. I would not turn down oak!

+1 and ++1 on not turning down the oak. Unless you don't have the room or patience to store the oak.

Thank you - I already have 5-6 cords of unsplit oak. I am just looking to have a mix of Oak with faster seasoning premium hardwood.

Hmm, some of those rounds look more like tuliptree than ash or maple. Maybe it's just the picture.

Yeah, the bark looks light grey but as you say, pics can be deceiving...

I agree

I see some norway maple in there in my humble opinion.

Here's my experience from splitting

The split wood had a sugar cane smell to it. Does Ash or Tulip have that? The round was very light compared to Oak & Honey Locust.


The maple had very light ( almost white wood color) - It also smelled very sweet. I'm guess sugar maple.
