picked this small load of mixed wood up after work on Friday. I generally take all wood and if its good, i burn in side, if its bad, its burnt outside when i'm burning off or having a bon fire.

Small Friday night scrounge.  What is it?


Does anyone have any clues as to what I picked up?...thanks
 
Birch & cottonwood.
I think I see some evergreen (pine) in there too.

Yep, from Melbourne Australia. Well, to be exact, i live 50 km east of Melbourne in the Dandenong ranges. Its semi rural, although my work mates would argue its completely rural and totally removed. haha.

Thanks for the heads up on the wood too. I'm thinking i might put this wood aside for when friends are over and we are having drinks around the outside fire!!

The big round front and center looks like hardwood. I'm thinking that those that said oak were referring to that one, the one behind it, and the one to the right. I, in my noobness thought it was hard maple. Either way, I'd consider that "inside wood". The white stuff looks like birch, and the rest I have no clue, but it looks fast growing. So throw that stuff in the bonfire pile and the rest in the "inside wood" pile :)
