Rock elm does have some knobs/warts but has the interlacing weaved bark versus the straight lines that Chipper’s trees have.

From what I remember it was pretty stringy. The bark is quite unique, nothing else comes close, until I saw those pictures of that stuff posted earlier, but those seemed to be a little different.
Here's an elm from last spring, this bark will peel off some of the top.
I’m not a peat fan, so only like a few scotches.
I’m a bourbon fan. Have been building the collection. Haven’t had/heard of Dickel. My most recent acquisition was some Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch.
I haven’t had a rye I didn’t like yet
Dickel is a great bourbon for the money. Its a Tennessee Whiskey(even though they call it whiskey it still meets bourbon laws) #8 is their “ original. High corn so a bit sweeter. #12 has more rye and is a tad higher proof. Much better compilation of flavors in #12.
They have a rye that is decent. Not a super high rye. Again a bit more corn. I like LOTS of rye.
Michigan is GREAT at rye
Some of my favorites are made by Two James. Grass widow and catchers rye. Check them out.

You have any suggestions? Iv been doing this for about 9 years now so finding new ones that seem interesting is getting harder.

That elm must have been dead for a while to break the hinge that cleanly.
1) Do not try to burn Oak unless the bark has been off of it and it looks very weathered. Other than that, Oak seems to like to keep it's moisture and dry slowly, but it is worth it because it burns so well. It you want it to dry quickly, split it small. When you split it, you will know if it is dry or not.
2) Ironwood is either Blue Beech, or Hornbeam, and neither look like you pics. It may be Elm, but it is tough to tell from the pics. Seeing either the cut wood, or a leaf in the spring (or both) would be very helpful.

It had been on its way out for a while not sure it would have leaved out that spring or not. That hinge is better than 2", the picture is a bit deceiving for size, iirc a 32" on the 576 with small dawgs didn't quite make it to the opposite side. I took it out before they started construction of a new home, got some nice wood from it too
. I still have the butt log and I'll probably cut some cookies off it

I usually stick to Red Wine, or have a beer or two (often Sam Adams or Dark Beers). Generally stay away from the hard stuff, but I went through my phases.
My friend Tommy and I used to drink 151 Bacardi's straight! We kept the bottle in a paper bag, so when our friends asked for some, we got a kick out of watching their eyes bulge out while they searched or water!
One year, Tommy's parent's anniversary was on a Friday, and my parents was on the Sunday. We drank so many different concoctions that week end that Tommy got sick as a dog … but not me! Tommy looked at me and stated "you stomach is not cast iron, it's porcelain"!
Then I used to drink Harvey Wallbangers like they were water. I even developed my own concoction that was stronger but tasted like nothing was in it (similar to a LI Ice Tea). But too many week ends went by that I don't remember, so I don't do that any more.
Fortunately, when I got married I realized it was time to grow up, unfortunately it took my X decades longer to learn that lesson. When I see her at family get togethers, it scares me to even look at her, and she used to be very attractive.

Doesn't look like the hackleberry we have here. I think we're equally north so it is found in our region. Hackleberry has wide furrows with very smooth bark between narrow ridges.
My guess is 1st one is black walnut. 2nd one could be elm.

All my hackberry is very white on the inside.

Yes that is!
Put a little of that in when cooking bacon. When the bacon is about half way done, drizzle KC Smoked Maple on the meat itself so it does not spatter. It will help caramelize when you flip and the bourbon adds to the taste as well. Also makes the bacon taste less salty.

Got another CL load of red oak on Saturday. As green and heavy as ever.
I was too sore to unload, so I thought I'd try the jackhammer on the rounds. It worked really well!
5-Gallon bucket for scale in some of the pics.

Dang nasty weather for February! Some of the worse I've seen in Western Maryland.
65 degrees, bright sunshine, no wind. Where's my winter. I just split and stacked a cord of Ash in short pants, t shirt and tricks. All most unbearable.
