This was cut a month ago. At the time I didn't notice the dark color,it's not walnut, maybe a red elm? Thanks

I vote mulberry. On the stuff I split and stacked outside for a few weeks, the stuff that got rained on and saw direct sunlight seemed like it turned even darker gold in that short period of time. The grain pattern and splitting behavior reminded me of working with white ash.

Yes, this stuff has gotten darker since it was bucked. I'm cleaning up around my uncle's farm, and thought it might be elm, i've decided to bucked up the crappy boxelder also. Only because they're over 12 inch dia.

I'll be looking forward to adding more mulberry to my winter work load. It compares btu wise with sugar maple and black locusts, I guess. What is the estimated dry time, one or two years? Thanks for the I'd.

It's Mulberry like these fellas said, and the cutsides will turn a reddish-brown color over time. Throws good heat but pops and sparks quite a bit, so get ready for a sparkler show!
