A house up the street had some trees removed so I took a walk up and asked if they'd be willing to drop off some of the wood. The guy was more than happy to do so and dropped a load in the driveway. I asked one of the guys what one of the trees was and he said sycamore, I double checked with the guy that dropped it off and he said it was ash. The pic is a close up of a cut end resting on another round of the same. Thanks fellas!
