The return of my wood supplier - wood ID

[Jotul_Rockland]

My wood supplier dropped off more wood for me. I think it is 2 different species ( light and dark one). I think black locust for one.

Whats your perspective?

Not sure but the bark on the darker stuff looks like Ash. Definitely not black locust.

The rounds with the lighter colored bark look like yellow poplar (aka tulip tree or tulip poplar) to me.

It sure does.
The other stuff looks like it could be something in the Red Oak group...

I wood also say red maple and poplar. Split the lighter stuff and see if there is a greenish strip of any sort.

Got it - the lighter wood is Tulip.

the Darker wood could be Ash, Locust, Red Oak (unlikely - I have plenty of Red oak - looks different) or red maple ( this looks different than maple to me)

Any ideas?

That is not locust.

Lighter wood - white ash....darker wood - NOT black locust

Thanks for letting me know!

I was thinking that the lighter wood was Tulip and was going to give it to my neighbors.

I'm not interested in low BTU wood - I'd give off Tulip/ Maple - not enough bang for my efforts to split, stack and haul.

Neither the bark nor heartwood stain is typical for white or green ash. I cut white ash all the time and that looks like the tulip poplar I cut last year.

The other rounds are definitely not black locust.

I'd be tempted to not get the tulip but I'd surely take the maple.

I will go with Ash on the lighter stuff and Black Walnut on the dark stuff. Looks just like my walnut I have been splitting.
