can you tell from this lousy photo? guy claims ash and BL... [Hearth.com] what type of wood here?
 
The trees that are standing amid the down trees look like Black Locust. The large tee down in the foreground looks like Black Cherry, based mainly on the color of the bark. Those trees don't look like willow, aspen, cottonwood, or ailanthus, and the other options are all well worth your effort.

Wow, sorry I can't tell much from that picture, however ther are some fun toys in the forground. Some one is having fun!;lol The one small round sort of looks like ash. It looks to be wet/rainy at the time of the picture which may darken the bark and make it harder to tell. Check the branches; very distinct opposite branching with a gray, V-furrowed bark on the trunk would be ash. Less distinct opposite branching would be one of the maples. Deep furrowed, rough broen bark could be black locust. Best I can do.

deep furrowed rough bark with a very regular pattern (kind of like expanded metal) would be BL..... and those God forsaken thorns...
 
Maple, not sure if its soft or hard from that last photo.
 
soft maple... just look at the spacing of the growth rings...
 
If it is growing in the open like that appears to be, I have seen quite a bit of Hard with growth rings that large. But I would lean more towards Soft maple.

it's hard to tell without seeing the whole tree.... and the leaves... I cut down a 14" Ash that was next to my house... I counted the rings and was shocked to find that is was only 17 years old... sure did burn nice though ;)
 
Yep not ash bark either. Looks like maple. Hey, easy wood to get to. 2 years, It will burn great.
 
i think it looks like soft maple, but that is just my impression. i am not really sure why I say it is soft (Red) maple.
