Happy Christmas to all.
Anyone got any idea what this wood is?

Wedgewood, JK The inside looks like the soft maple here in Wis., the bark not so much.

Firewood!!

Thanks. This stuff is tough and stringy. It laughs with derision at the fiskars. It also shrugs off the 10# maul. Havent had to resort to the wedge in a few years. Good workout thought

Looks like the black locust we used here for fence posts as it decay resistant.

Sassafras??? Smell like root beer??

Bark doesn't look really like the locust around here, and locust splits pretty easy.
Mainly black and honey locust around here. Don't see and thorns on it??


I don't see much elm, especially Siberian. Siberia is a long way from Ohio.

Siberian elm.

It sure looks like an elm with the stringyness.

I ran into some just like it in a load my girlfriend ordered last year.if it's the same wood it had a bitter like smell to it.

But it depends on where it grows as well, ive seen black locust thats very twisty and hard to split, that grew near the lakeshore.

 

[Fifelaker]

I will vote for locust.

Fire up a saw and noodle it. We get the odd tree up here that looks like that wood, not a native tree but near impossible to split even with a big hydraulic splitter it shears off more than splits.

Its elm, I call it American elm, the layers of bark are like the American flag, red/white, red white etc
