Wood id

[Bostontom]

Scored about a cord of already bucked wood from someone selling a home and got it for free the guy got his mini excavator and loaded it all on his trailer for me i offered him money for gas he said he was just happy to see it gone. Fine by me. I had alot of oak and alot of ash but there were just a few pieces i dont know what they are. If anyone can help thanks

I know the second one looks like pine but damn its heavy and dense just not like pine ive got around here before

The first one looks like some kind of Cherry; the second one is without a doubt Mulberry. The grain starts out yellow but turns that darker brownish color as it dries-you can see that as you have both colors in the picture.

Mulberry any good?

Mulberry any good?

Takes awhile to dry out but once it does it is very good. Pops somewhat when it burns, sometimes even loud "POWS" so don't be surprised to hear that or to see it sends sparks flying like sparklers at times, especially if you open the stove door. But it's really good fuelwood-just make sure it is dry....
