Tree Identification

This hill was open so I made a run up then down the backside, this is a Maple (pic 6990) but what kind is it?

The one Maple in pic 6991 is damaged so I think I'll take it.

Idk Zap, but seeing your woods reminds me of our old woods up in northern Michigan and me as a kid sitting next to my Grandfather in the old Doodlebug. Good times

It looks like the hard maple I have to cut up back in my woods. I'm no expert tho

Funny you mention the Doodlebug, the original owner had one, his son sold us the land, he always talks about the Doodlebug and going for a ride with his father.

They don't make grandfathers like they used to.

Maples can be rather difficult to identify by bark alone, especially red vs. sugar. I can tell them apart when they are side by side, but alone, forget it. If you have time the easiest way that i know is to watch for when they seed. Red maples do it in the spring, sugar maple makes their seeds in the late summer/early fall.

Zap, that is the new maple on the block. It's called northern curved maple. Burns really nice, very similar to hard maple.

Out of Shape, we started x-country skiing but then we had a melt...then it froze again which ruined the trails until we received more snow, by that time I was doing recliner action.

At least you got some exercise by making that recliner go into recline. Then it takes some effort to get back up....

If the weather holds today the stacking will start tonight, we have room for three cord in this stacking area so my goal is 1.80 cord this week which will open up the weekend for cutting.

This will be a better workout then the recliner.
