    Any idea what this wood is?

    No sir, no green. I think this batch is going to become firewood. 😁

    Any idea what this wood is?

    Alright, fellas. Getting real close to calling this mulberry. Turns yellow when wet. There is zero rot on any piece. Bark matches. Very dense yet light weight wood, and light in color when dry. Still waiting for TAMU to get back with me, but after 2 days of research, I think I've got it...

    Any idea what this wood is?

    I just spoke to a specialist at Texas A&M. He is going to take a look at it and see if he or one of his colleagues can identify it.

    Any idea what this wood is?

    The bark is definitely similar to the pecan. That could be it It is definitely not pine. There's not a single knot in any of the wood pieces. I've also cracked some of it open with a hatchet and smelled it. No pine scent whatsoever. If not pecan, does anyone think this could be mulberry? I...

    Any idea what this wood is?

    I'm really not sure. The fella that gave it to me is getting up there in age and his memory ain't what it used to be. He swears it's either cherry (which it doesn't look like) or apple. Here's a picture of the barkless pieces. You can see the grain better on these. We have a ton of pines in...

    I am leaning toward apple myself, but I'm not an expert on fruit wood by any means.

    Any idea what this wood is?

    Hi everyone. Just discovered this forum and thought I'd see if the collective experience can identify this wood. An older gentleman recently gave me a bunch of this seasoned wood, but he can't remember what it is. He thinks it is either apple or cherry. It's hardwood, and it's very light...
