[banshee67]

The beech that I have is not as light as this beech. I will take some pictures tomorrow and load them. Once I load them would you mind letting me know if it is fact beech or are there different species of beech.

We're trying to ID some wood pics that haven't been taken yet. I'm going all in with cherry.

Theres a 100% chance that it might be cherry.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post any more pics. The stuff I brought home is already in wood heaven and with my saw being in 100 pieces and waiting on a piston and cylinder I haven't been back out to fetch anymore of it for some more pics.
The ash is out of the equation, settled and done.
Still trying to ID the one that is titled elm in the pic. I thought red elm just because it was laying there with a bunch of other elms all looking the same. The horizontal flecks in the wood grain threw me off as well as the smell and the awesome straight grain. It could be maple that somehow didn't rot. Is Maple prone to standing or laying barkless for such a long time that it is light and burnable right away? I don't have much experience cutting maple up until now but from what I see it can "go" pretty fast.
I'll be back out this weekend hopefully and bring some more home. I also need to check out some trees that might be Locust.
Thanks for the help!

I have seen Red Elm that looked like your first pics. It split reasonably well and had a similar grain. It was only the standing deads in Michigan though... And only the knot free portions of the trunk. It had lost it's bark, yet was still solid... That makes me lean toward Red Elm as opposed to Maple...
The Ash tree you scored in the latter pics was a dandy... Rot had not set it yet... Don't leave it out there too long...

It will be stacked before the tulips pop!

Here are the pictures of the wood I have that I believe to be beech. I also have some other pictures of some wood that I need help identifying.

Beech I believe:

 

[Hedgerow]

Not beech...

 

[Wileyone27]

I am not sure of this wood. But I hope someone can help. There are only two pieces of wood but four pictures the first two pics or one wood and the last two are the second piece of wood

Second piece of wood

Thanks in advance

Is that bottom sample yellow like the picture appears?

 

[Wileyone27]

Yes that is the color. It has a distinct scent to it also. I can't describe the scent

 

[Hedgerow]

Black locust, or sassafrass...
Gold or yellow?
Heavy or light???

 

[Wileyone27]

I would say gold color and heavy

 

[lone wolf]

Locust be the best guess!

 

[Hedgerow]

Locust be the best guess!

Yep...:msp_biggrin:

 

[Wileyone27]

Not beech...

If its not beech then what could it be

 

[Wileyone27]

Anyone have a guess on the pic rigt above the black locust

 

[Wileyone27]

Yep...:msp_biggrin:

Then I will go with black locust. Is it any good to burn
