Wood ID

[E.Merckx]

I’m looking for an app that can identify wood rounds and splits. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure but I bet they’d be inaccurate. Just throw the pics up on here and you’ll get good answers.

If you do post pictures post them in "The Wood Shed" forum so we will see them as a wood I.D. rather than this forum for questions about stoves and pipe etc.

Thanks. I have plenty of different types of rounds and splits that I work on all year long. Rather than posting pics, what I’m really after is learning how to ID them myself. If apps are not accurate, does anyone have a suggestion for a specific book that is easy to learn from? I am in New England (Mass, just south of Boston) if that matters. There are tons of books so just wondering if anyone has come across a good one, or any other resources. I looked on line and it is ok but not super helpful. Thanks.

"National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees" is a really good one!

You are welcome! It's a very good book with detailed pictures of bark, leaves, fruit etc., one of the best ones out there.
