Oak, Pine and mystery wood

[Andy S.]

Picked up two full pick up truck loads today.Some of the Oak was punky but most was good (my luck that the Oak was on the bottom). The other hardwood was the stuff in the pics.The homeowner said it was Elm. If the split does not show it the heartwood is yellow and there is a brownish color in there, too.It has a sickly sweet smell when split. Elm?

The grain looks to be a little too straight for it to be Elm.
All the Elm I've split was twisted like a corkscrew,
but I'll let other hearthheads speak to that.

I found the Elm. I've got a pile of splits that look like a fishing line birds nest. I'd rather split the last beer in the fridge than this stuff. The yellow stuff splits easily.

Hard to tell from the bark in that pic, but could it be Mulberry?

I believe Woody nailed it!

Me, too.I searched for some pics and they are a match. I H/S/S (hauled split and stacked) two face cords or so this weekend. It is Miller Time.

You are going to love that Mulberry. Great stuff. Lasts and throws great heat. right up there with Black Locust. I'm come across some every once in awhile. It's always a happy surprise.

I agree it looks like Mulberry. Great firewood.
