How'd it smell?

 

[jimmydan68]

sour cherry cough syrup is how I would describe it.

The hickory kind of throws me off. the bark looks alot more like a white oak, than a shag bark hickory.

Not sure about this wood.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what type of wood this is. I was thinking hickory?

 

[coog]

Good guess, I think.

 

[Hedgerow]

Fixed...

 

[Hedgerow]

And the other...

Wow!! These are big pics!!

 

[Jonesy11]

Any guesses on this wood?

 

[coog]

Not a great bark match, but I would say Shagbark Hickory.

 

[Hedgerow]

Is it heavy? Or light?:msp_confused:
Odd bark...

 

[Jonesy11]

It is fairly heavy. guy said it had been down 14 months and he had just recently split it. not as shaggy as shagbark hickory. The only thing I have stumbled upon is a hop hornbeam (ironwood) that has one picture that resembles the bark somewhat. Splits rather easy (easier than elm but harder than maple). no real smell to it, might just be sinuses and how cold it is.

 

[Hedgerow]

Hop Hornbeam "Ironwood" rarely gets to even 12" in dia... How big was the stuff.??

 

[coog]

Never see Iron Wood that big in MN, and the bark looks coarser in the first picture. It does have dark heartwood, though. It is a very heavy wood that doesn't carry much moisture. Great stuff either way.

 

[Jonesy11]

The rounds he hadn't split were about 20" dia. and yes I agree that the bark is much more coarse than the ironwood pic.
