Ran across this stuff next to a church, bunch of trees cut down piled up, no one around to ask owns property,but want to know if it's worth inquiring further.

3x black walnut. Not the best. Makes a lot of ash, medium heat. Great for turnings, carvings etc...

In the background, on the first photo, I believe I see some red oak.

Black Walnut. Give off good heat, and as stated, lots of ash. The ash is very fine & compacts down so not a real big deal.

Black Walnut. Go grab it ASAP

Walnut. One of my favorites because of the aroma. Burns like maple.

Black walnut. Give it two years, it will burn after one but not all that well.

I thought it might be walnut, no matter went back ,found someone at the church , they said the property belongs to that church, and who ever had cut the stuff down is suppose to come back n finish , bummer there is about 10 cord of wood laying in that lot in piles

That pile does not look like a pile that any firewood person created. May be worth leaving contact information in a ziploc bag on a log, or track down that person. It just doesn't look like wood that someone intended on using for firewood. Also, let the church know your interested in cleaning up the big stuff and leave your info there too. Many a person has started a project/job and not returned to finish. Some guys figure once they have started to make the mess, the owner will not hireor allow another person to touch it. That may be true for some time, but not forever.
