The wood we're burning now.

This was so wet and heavy, it would squirt when I'd split it small enough to get to the splitter.

But I split it early and we stacked it, now it is just right to burn.

Good work, bet it feels good now! What kind of tree is that?

 

[Paulywalnut]

Let me guess. Maple.

Squirting.....sounds like willow.

I just put a piece of Norway maple in that was dropped off in my yard. A couple of guys with a flatbet dropped it off from a craigslist add. I'll never forget because it had a 6" diameter poison Ivy vine attached to it. It was then that I realized for sure that there was no such thing a free firewood!

I've had Tulip Poplar spit water when I drove in the wedge, but that doesn't look like Tulip. Tulip has very distinctive coloration in the center. Just by your description I would lean toward willow as well because I can't tell by the picture. If it burns quickly and leaves a lot of ash it's probably Tulip. If it burns quickly, leaves a lot of ash AND smells like the wrath of God while it burns, it willow.

Valley ranch, you perhaps should think strongly about a cant hook. Then you would not have to split those small enough to get to the splitter. With a cant hook it is an easy task.

Those are some good sized rounds.

I'm surprised it dried so well in only 6-7 months.
