Thanks. That's both good and bad news. The good news is its good wood and I refuse to leave it. The bad news is its down over a steep hill along a stream. Between one large and small red oak and this large ash tree i'm going to run out of room before I get it all

What do you mean you are going to run out of room?
pallets? racks?

Basswood all day everyday. Not even an inkling of a doubt in my mind!

I think Ash but a closer view of pic#3 would help.

Get the Oak leave this stuff it is BASSWOOD, since you are low on storage! otherwise get it good kindling.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Have to agree with nrford for sure. Bass so leave it if you are tight on space as you can get better wood. You got some already so I'd keep that and make most of it into kindling as it is super for this. Also makes for great carving wood.

Me too. (I just read his sig). I defer.

Yep - basswood. I've been fooled by that a few times myself. It's good for early shoulder seasons or getting a fire started. About it.

When nrford and I disagree...I change my mind.

 

[lopiliberty]

Basswood it is. Can't argue with a hardwood lumber inspector of 24 years or Dennis who is the ash expect here. Thanks for the replies
