[CrystalRiver1]

[RI Chevy]

I still say black gum.

 

[Slacker]

My guess was tuplip poplar but the stringy-ness counts that choice out.
I'm on the gum tree train now.

Its Gum end of story and why you wanna split that for? Thats why they make whole tree chippers!

 

[RI Chevy]

School me on the Gum tree please. No good? Unsplitable?
Does it burn Ok?

Not worth the trouble! It splits very hard, burns OK,if you wait a year it splits but its half rotten at that point! Into the chipper!

 

[RI Chevy]

Hmmm. OK. Thank you sir. [emoji106]

I always chip that,Pine,Sycamore etc!

 

[RI Chevy]

I really only cut hard wood up here. Oak, maple, cherry, etc.
If I cut pine, or other softwood trees, I try and sell it to campgrounds.

 

[CrystalRiver1]

Gum...so be it.
Glad I left 98% in the back 40!

 

[RI Chevy]

Did you notice anything different when you cut it up? Tough to cross cut? Harder on saw?

 

[CrystalRiver1]

No, not tough on the saw @ all.
Of course when I threw a bit on splitter it was moderately challenging, yet it's a 9 Ton Electric splitter so kinda par for the course.
What little I have of it will be split/stacked in the garage & get mixed in with locust, hedge, oak, and shag bark...no biggie.
Appreciate all the feedback fellows!

Not a problem friend.
This was the wildest wood ID ever...and I've submitted quite a few, but I learned a heap.
