Yellow wood. What kind ?

[NJ_Burner08002]

Never have seen this kind. The one split is maple. The yellow????

Sorry. Here is the pic

Could be locust. No bark pics?

The one on the left? If it will get nice orange Amber color when seasoned I say it's mulberry.

Probably mulberry or black locust, you need to post a picture of the bark...... Thanks

 

[NJ_Burner08002]

Here you go

Mulberry, it's great firewood in 2-3 years.....

Looks like mulberry. I split about half a cord of it this summer, seems like a pretty dense wood. Comparable to a red oak.

I don't know, bark looks wrong for Mulberry. Mulberry will turn from light yellow to red-ish brown in a matter of days. If not Mulberry then Black Locust.

 

[jatoxico]

Was either locust or mulberry and that's pretty darn sure that's mulberry bark

mulberry

Another mulberry vote. Sweeps rates between red and white oak. Likes to spark and pop so watch opening the door when burning

 

[NJ_Burner08002]

It certainly is a dense heavy wood.

it looks like a yellow pine to me. There are several species of pine with yellowish wood. I would think you'd smell pine if I were right.

Ditto, the loblolly I cut was very similar to this

 

[Stinkpickle]

Yeah, that bark doesn't scream mulberry to me.

 

[Babaganoosh]

If it smells like piss and chit it might be locust

Mulberry when split usually has a milky white sap that runs out between the bark and the wood part if green, and is also very heavy when wet. And as others have said it will turn a reddish-brown color when drying.

Does yellow pine have noticeable medullary rays as seen in his 2nd pic, behind the piece with visible bark?

I'm voting mulberry

Mulberry if it turns almost dark brown shade in a couple days

 

[Paulywalnut]

If some of it is twisted in unreal shapes it's mulberry.

I take that back. I actually found a standing mulberry tree on my property line with bark similar to the one pictured. The bark flakes up heavy like that around the spot where a branch dies and falls off. It appears to be the same situation as the bark in your picture.

 

[NJ_Burner08002]

It has turned a butterscotch/Amber color. I am thinking its mulberry. And FYI it is some dense wood. Very heavy especially when I split it. Thanks to everyone for your knowledge. I certainly learned something.

Here is a picture of 2 shades of mulberry, after that butterscotch color it is going to turn dark brown, I meant to post this picture last week, but it should help since you have seen it turn color already...... The brown splits were done in the late spring and the butterscotch was done over a month ago.....
