I cut this in the Tillamook Forest in Oregon (with a permit of course). Does anyone know what it is? I think one of them is Hemlock but I am not sure.
Thanks

Amazing amount of growth for 20 years, whatever it is.
 
I was hoping that it would be decent firewood. I am kinda dissapointed if it is all pine. It was a lot of work to get. Live and learn I guess
 
a conifer.. but not hemlock .whatever it is out here on our side of the country it would called debris ...and promptly sent to a landfill
 
#1 is Spruce. #2 Pine, lodgepole maybe?
 
It doesn't look like pine to me, I'd say spruce or maybe fir. I am not sure it makes a big difference, as far as the burning characteristics go. Not sure what you were hoping for, but it is a conifer, and will season and be ready to burn next year.
 
Looks like a 2x4
