+3 or 4 on ash
Usually (here at least) there's lighter spots up one side of the tree where the ash borer has gotten to it. It'll look white from a distance

Maybe , right?

I'm going with the poplar. The wood should be very light in color and strait grained. Smaller ones split very easy. Larges rounds can be wicked heavy if fresh- 16" and up- and almost "spongy". At least appeared that way when the mull bounced off or stuck in and does not split. Was splitting some by hand a few weekends ago. Laid one of those super mulls about an inch into a 24 incher and it laughed at me.

Way to tell for sure is get a pic of branches. If they are alternate or not.

Ash is easiest tree to tell out of all of them by looking at branches imo. Look how they grow straight up vertical on the tree

What kind of wood is this?
Wood is hard from being blown over a while ago. but generally soft type wood. Aspen?
Bark is stringy. 20170318_154222.jpg 20170318_154230.jpg

Fresh cut acacia:
DSC00616.JPG

Seasoned acacia, was laying in the bushes on the ground for about 2-3 years, still yellow colored once plit, no rot, bug infested only directly under the bark which by now falls off easily:

I though I had pictures of split acacia but nope, can't find any on my PC - will try and get some.

Acacia is tough, grows fast as grass, endures rot and bugs for decades untreated (it decays slowly from the outside inward).

EDIT:
Greenish yellow color, strong (not unpleasant) smell, young growth features large sharp thorns.

That's what we call Locust here.

Was wondering about that when I saw this post!

Buds look like Elm, splits similar to Elm, but it yellow as all get out. It's got a heady smell, not bad but noticeable.
That definitely looks like acacia to me.

It's great firewood once it's seasoned.
Won't dry worth poop if not split thought, the bark keeps the moisture in.
Split or debarked it dries fairly quick, definitely faster than oak.

This was the base of the tree I cut. I am still thinking it is a Red Maple.

Anyone identify this wood? A local guy is giving it away and I'm trying figure out if it's worth the trip. 00e0e_hABssg5zImu_600x450.jpg
