This trees growing in the woods behind my house and I'm curious as to what it is .
Bark kinda resembles an ash but the leaves are very large ...bigger then my hand and I have large hands .
Here's a few pics ....KIMG2342.JPG KIMG2343.JPG KIMG2341.JPG

Horrible as firewood, popular for carving as it’s very soft, was traditionally used in some board and batten canoes. You’ll notice large size differences in leaves depending on sun exposure. Believe it or not a few years ago they were bringing good money for veneer in Ontario

Quickly. Lighter than poplar when dry. Ok for shoulder season or kindling
Just curious was all. I have not seen that tree down here. At least not on my property. I guess it really is a useless tree! Lol

Basswood is used for raw pelt forms, easy to pin.
Waterfowl decoys also.

I thought the bean pod tree was bass wood. Learn something all the time on here.

I believe that basswood is one of the most sought after carving woods. Just sayin. :)
