Hey Guys,
Merry belated Christmas.
I stumbled upon this wood a few days ago.
It was dead, down, and barkless. It was kinda tough on the chains and splits rather tough.
Doesn't smell or look like any red oak I've gathered. The weight is above average.
I have no ideal identifying helps such as bark, leaves, twigs, or buds.
Yet, it smells really good and sweet, almost like soap or deodorant!
I've heard everything from yellow locust, cherry, red maple, and the most popular red elm!
Any ideas?
This was found in north Alabama.
Thanks,
Reggie 20191229_123559.jpg 20191229_123630.jpg 20191227_151112.jpg 20191226_155116.jpg 20191226_144406.jpg

Looks a lot like black cherry from here. I'd know for sure if I could smell it. Does not look like locust. Would be more rotten if it was maple. Never gotten a good sweet smell from elm. My vote is cherry, the grain certainly looks right.

Nice Reggie. I like it. You been hustling lately...
Got to RI...got wayyy behind with school and taking care of my Pa this past 6-9 months.
Kinda sucking hind-tit right now...:cbiggrin2:
But, I've got available about a 1/2 of a cord of downed pecan, 1 truckload of more "cherry/mystery wood", and a line on some black locust stands to put me at ease...I guess!:crybaby2::confundio1::cunaooooo:
