I was thinking poplar too.

Funny that the bark resembles Hickory well if its poplar it will be light and hickory heavy.

Nabbed up this supposed oak last night, owner says, "some of it is white oak the other is Sasquatch oak!"

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

It's not dead black cherry is it?

 

[Lone Wolf]

It's not dead black cherry is it?

Maybe.

 

[CrystalRiver1]

It's not dead black cherry is it?

Could very well be...its smells mighty good.
Only thing is I don't see any cambium or sapwood...
Check this...mighty encouraging!!

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.

Real nice Reggie...

 

[CrystalRiver1]

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...
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!

 

[RI Chevy]

Yikes. Sorry Reggie.
But I hear you. Always gotta be on the hustle.

When wild cherry dies the sap wood rots off leaving just the colored harder wood. It cuts pretty hard. Makes good fire wood

Burning a mess of it as we speak!
Pretty hot fire I got going just using small splits!! JEEZ!!

 

[RI Chevy]

When dried out, cherry surely smells good outside when burned...
I find that it coals up like Applewood. Just doesn't burn as hot.

Works good in the smoker too.
