Title: ID this deadfall please?
Post by: rank on February 01, 2018, 06:32:05 PM
 Can anyone ID this tree?  It was lying on the floor.  I managed to find one leaf....potentially ash? The bark sort of looks like basswood but the rings seem too close together for basswood.  I don't recognize the heart wood.  Location is the north shore of Lake Ontario

By golly, I am pretty sure that is called firewood around here.

I know, I know, but I jest couldn't help it.

Yes firewood......Someone wants to cook with wood and they want specific types of hardwoods.

I guess everyone agrees :) Can you tell if it's black ash or white?

I feel real certain it is basswood, those odd shaped brown hearts are a dead giveaway. Dry some and it will be light and it is soft and absorbs a splitting maul.
