wood id

This came down in a snow storm back in March. The tree was right on the edge of our yard bordering the forest. All along I thought it was some kind of birch.

But after splitting it, it seems more like big-tooth aspen. But, the leaves are not right for big-tooth aspen.

I don't have a photo right now of the leaves. They would be dead on the ground anyways.

Thanks!

The branches are laying on a bunch of Oak leaves, so It's an Oak. Some of the leaves are from a Black Oak and others are from Red Oaks. Kevin

Was this all from the same tree? The stuff in the wheelbarrow reminds me of Willow.

I'm not sure about the branches, but the big stuff looks like black locust to me.

2nd vote for wheelbarrow wood looks like young Black Locust to me.

Crack one of those rounds in the wheelbarrow open so we can see what the grain looks like please....

The pics are all from the same tree. The first pic is the top of the tree, second splits, third rounds in the wheelbarrow.

It is definitely not black locust. I just split and burned a bunch of that this past winter. Not willow either. Leaves aren't right for that. I will try to find some leaves tomorrow, and post them.

Looks like some variation of poplar so I think you were on the right track. They can be tough to tell apart but are all pretty close to the same. I’ve got some with blistered white bark, some smooth gray bark, and some that are furrowed most of the way up.

looks like an elm to me...not sure however.

And/or crack a round open and post the grain please.

I need to stop trying to do these wood id’s on my phone. I think nrford is right it’s elm. Didn’t notice how stringy the split was at first.

Any chance of this happening so we aren't left hanging wondering what it is?

Cottonwood?!

My first thought was Siberian Elm but the wheelbarrow pic throws me off a bit with the heartwood looking too light to be Siberian.

Pic #2 is the split. The top part of the tree has started to leaf, even though it's just lying on the ground. I'll get a picture this weekend and post it.
