Wood ID help

[Woodburners]

Does anyone have any idea what wood this is? Guy selling it has no idea as it’s from his friend who’s a gardener!

I’m in the UK if it helps.

Thanks

Hard to tell from that photo. I'd guess some type of birch, beech, or cherry.

My first thought was also cherry, black birch.

Poplar/tulip or populus in latin

Birch would be my guess. Get it split and sry off the ground soon. Rots easily.

looks like birch

I personally would stay away from wood bucked into slivers like that. Impossible to stack.

Yes, that looks like the reject pile.

I have "stacked" a single layer of "cookies" (resulting from my tree company not being able/wanting to cut on proper size) on top of a normal stack, vertically, like a row of dishes in a dish washer. Yes the tops touch but there is enough airflow to dry.
Similar to having uglies on the top of a stack. Not ideal indeed.

From the branch pattern it looks like white pine. You is in the United Kingdom, do y'all talk English over there, or what?
