I have not been proactively looking for wood because of the heat this summer but I just started to keep an eye out for some scrounging opportunities. I will be moving much of my season wood closer to the house for winter staging and will have room to replenish the stacks.
We had a pretty short but wicked storm role through the other night and it brought down a large portion of my maple that provides most of the shade for the south side of the house. I am hoping I don't loose the tree! Anyway after three trailer fulls of taking the junk to the dump, I am left with a lot of rounds out of this unfortunate event.

Then I noticed my neighbor had two trees brought down along the power lines by some company and he said I was welcome to it. One is a large pile of cherry with a ton of large cherry burls. It is pretty messy wood and not sure if it is all worth the effort. The second tree, I am not sure what it is but there are some sizable rounds to split. My son and I went over last night and took the choice pieces before they are snatched up (Right along the road),

What is this?
