Could you help ID these two. Both have been down since summer. Easy job cause it’s right behind the house.

The pic with your dogie looks like walnut. Not sure about the second tree ash or elm???? I dont see many of them and have none on my property that i know of but the first is walnut.

Black walnut and american elm.

Interesting I thought the darker was box elder. When split it has a dark heartwood. So is walnut and elm worth my time??

I wouldnt think twice about it. Walnut is around 20 million btu and american elm is around 18 from the chart i just looked at. Looks like easy cuttin too.

It's Walnut and Box Elder, you should see some purplish "splotches" on the cut side of the Box Elder.

I agree looks like Walnut and Box Elder

Hmm the second when split it just a pale yellow. No purple. Don’t think it’s box elder.

Black walnut on the first two. It is good firewood, I have a truck load of it in my driveway right now.
Easy to split. It is beautiful wood. This wood is prized for gun stocks, and furniture.
It is not as good as oak, and it is better than pine or poplar.

I have burned lots of it.

If you know someone with a saw mill, you could make some tables from those walnut logs.
