Ash

I think Willow Or Elm. Not ash bark.

Well that sucks if so. Is elm worth a flip? Prettysure Iit's not willow

Yes elm is ok. It just has to be well seasoned. It could be something else. I'm pretty sure it's not ash.

Elm burns nice when well seasoned.

Any possibility this could be sassafras? Looking at pictures it sure resembles it

Looks like elm to me.

sure looks like exactly the same stuff you guys told me was ash a few weeks ago when i had an ID question. Same orange tint and same stringiness.

I had multiple people tell me it was ash as well.

Anytime Sassafras is mentioned on this site, the experts always say "you'll smell it right away if it's sass." So, does it smell unique like root beer?

I didn't notice any particular smell

I'm pretty sure it's not gum. Wouldn't have cut it if it was. If it winds up being elm or hickory, I can live with it.
