Yes! The bark and grain are dead giveaways

Honey Locust.
Exact same tree as my brother has.
Were the leaves multiple clustered style and not a single lobe style?
If clustered then no doubt.

 

[CarbonNeutral]

Never saw the leaves - so we are betting on white ash or honey locust. How well does ash burn?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Yes Chief, that is me. The picture was taken last April. The wood in the picture is white ash.

I'm going with white ash based on a) the bark, b) ease of splitting (i.e. knife through butter), c) the coloration of the wood as ash seems to yellow up a bit once it seasons and d) I have white ash that looks exactly like this with the black sploches in the picture . . . which I'm thinking could be mold (which is so very surprising considering how dry and rain-free this past Spring and Summer were .

It's always nice to see the person you talk to. Except in the case of Bigg_Redd ;-P

I was going to say Norway Maple but it seems a little silly to disagree with Lee and Dennis.

 

[greythorn3]

I know it is difficult but compare the pictures.

Your wood stacks look amazing. good job.

Yeah, I get humbled by them on occasion.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Thank you greythorn3.


Jags, we also get humbled by you from time to time. Tis a good thing methinks.
