Title: Tree ID by leaf help
Post by: jlax27 on January 02, 2015, 09:44:10 PM
My buddy said I could have this wood but he doesn't know what kind so he sent me this picture.  I'm not sure either.  I will be burning it in a wood stove so I only want it if it is suitable.  Thanks for reading and fro any help you can give.

I take all the Bradford Pear trunks I can get for wood turning.  Good stuff.

Wouldn't it be good for smoking wood?
