Wood ID

[kmmuellr]

Anyone have any idea what kind of wood this is? I picked up a load of mixed hardwood, and a few logs of this was in there.

The wood was purchased in SE Michigan.

Thanks!

I would say red oak

No bark ? dry and split I would say it is firewood.

Impossible for me without bark. Even in my own pile I get confused if it doesn't have bark!

You're asking alot to id that stuff, but hey, I can't be any more wrong than anybody else.

I've seen red oak kinda look like that and I have some apple that has that same decay/bug pattern, just not as uniformly as those whole pieces.

 

[gzecc]

Ben, Thats were I saw that color. Apple. Could be apple. Does it smell great when burned?

 

[rphurley]

Oak was my guess, but I'm certainly no expert. I have split lots of Red and White Oak, though.

 

[JustWood]

I'll say black cherry.
Just sayin'.

 

[WOODBUTCHER]

Is it light?...... black cherry is real light once it's nice and seasoned like that.

Thanks for all the input. No bark, definately standing dead wood. Its quite heavy compared to the ash that I have.

Just curious, since its firewood! I've never seen anything like it (not that I have a lot of experience), so my gears started turning.

How is the smell when burning?

How is the smell when burning?

I haven't noticed. Its in the stove!

I'll pay attention next time I throw a log on. It definately takes longer to light off than the ash that I have.
