Wood I.D.

What do you think, basswood or ash. About ten feet from this is a healthy ash tree. This has been down for about one year.

Ash

Looks like Ash to me. How dense does it feel? Ash should not be too light.

It has some weight to it, this is the nice ash about ten feet from it,

I agree with the others, ash....

 

[Battenkiller]

That grain is not even close to the look of basswood. White ash for sure.

Id bet my ash its ash

Well I'd go with Ash too.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

So get your ash out of there.

Ash . . . but as Flatbed said . . . pick up a split and see if it doesn't "feel" lighter than you think it should . . . if it feels like most other splits it's ash, if you pick it up and it seems too light for the size it's basswood. I accidentally cut down a basswood a couple winters ago thinking it was ash . . . as soon as I picked up the first round I realized my mistake.

There goes Lee threatening to eat stuff again. :lol:

White ash grown in a semi shaded area within many other trees on a flat parcel of land with good drainage. Or thats my guess, anyhow.
