Wood score. Oak?

[Sully]

Scored this wood, also had a fun day in the mud. Is this oak?

Hard maple, more like it.

Got some of that last year, insanely heavy. Burns good. So I'm happy

 

[Sully]

The only difference I see with the hard maple I got last year was the middle was darker color. This is white from bark to center with little color change

 

[gzecc]

Was this "free" wood?

 

[Sully]

Yup

 

[Sully]

There is still another 25 ft left. It knocked down a beech tree too. Going to have to wait a while though until that ground freezes

 

[mass_burner]

well, you'll find out for sure when you try to split it.

That second pic looks like you got stuck pretty good... do you have a winch?

 

[claydogg84]

Nice grab, I agree it looks like sugar maple.

That brings back memories, my brother and I were hauling wood out of a freshly cleared construction site. We hauled 10 truck loads of walnut rounds out of the main gate no problem on a Saturday, we showed up on Sunday and the gate was chained shut. Not to waste a trip, we went around the gate on a muddy service road and loaded my old GMC High Sierra 4x4 to the gills. On the way out we got stuck in the mud on my trailer hitch. We had to unload half the rounds to get unstuck and then carry and reload the rounds. We were a muddy mess, but we got a whole lotta of free walnut.

Next thing you need to do is get some "real" tires.

 

[gzecc]

Wood is never free!

Nope, just a friend with a bigger truck

Nothing beats free wood.

 

[nmaho]

How did you get out of that mud pit.?

That looks like Red Maple (soft maple) to me. It might also be Silver Maple.

I wasn't sure myself but the split piece showing the grain looks like hard maple to me.

Not hard maple.

 

[Sully]

So Paul what are you thinking?

 

[Beer Belly]

Nope, just a friend with a bigger truck

Waiting for the big question, then the manufactures war

 

[Beer Belly]

can't beat free wood. You've taken "Muddin" to a new level.....how many guys would do it with a load of wood

 

[Rebelduckman]

Don't look like any of the red I've cut. I'd say maple of some sort though.

 

[mass_burner]

Not hard maple.

Paul bunion should know.
