Me too. Not the worst, but far from the best. I burned over a cord of it this winter....and it was OK...but mine was punky as heck. The solid pieces were decent.

Not. It's yellow poplar aka Tulip

dang, thats the last time I try to ID wood...

I wish he'd split some of it for better ID.

The sycamore was easy.

I agree, I think that is Tulip or Yellow Poplar - Liriodendron tulipifera

Just went and checked some fresh cut poplar I picked up last week, still in the round. The growth rings are much wider than what you have in your picture. So I don't think it's poplar. I'm in No Va. so not too far from you. If it's fresh cut and smells like vomit (sorry, don't mean to offend), it's probably oak.

The bark maybe superficially resembles Poplar (Tulip), but the heartwood is saying something else to me. A dead on shot of the heartwood would help, a shot of a split would be way more helpful.

+1 = heartwood seems wrong for tulip. More picks would be nice. Cheers!

Would ove to post more pics if I had some we instead found another place even closer to home that had more sycamore and tulip poplar. We also took a trailer full of pine for the outdoor fire pit. There is still TONS of pine there, but I have no use for it....

[Wood Duck]

what kind of pine? It probably isn't that far from sycamore and tulip poplar in terms of BTUs.

 

[scoooter]

The sticky type really I have no earthly idea how to tell the different types of pine... I can tell you the wood was kinda yellow inside and the branches were all the way around like every 18 inches or so. We are renting a splitter Saturday and hope to get alot split. I don't know how much we can get split in 7 hours but we'll give it a shot :coolgrin:

I'm reconsidering my earlier guess. Howabout Basswood. I have seen basswood with large hearts like that, and bark could pass.

 

[chinkapin_oak]

looks like hickory, but I need better pics to give a straight answer

 

[brisawyer]

Its Tulip poplar the sapwood is punky. The green heartwood is normal. The slight discoloration in the heartwood is caused by damage when young or minerals in the ground. I saw a tractor trailer load of theese each week at the mill.
