I say this is black walnut and looks like it has defects.    Lets hope somebody more experienced chimes in 

[beenthere]

Black walnut.

[Ron Scott]

Yes, Black Walnut.

[Stephen1]

Thank you! 
I'll be down there tomorrow to get them all .  8) 8)

Any idea what happened? Is that broken off staub a felling error or storm damage? 

[Don P]

Judging from the notch they are setting up to drop another walnut across that broken log. 

[Roxie]

Last night's small tornado in Maryland, brought down this tree on my friends property. We're curious what type tree this is and I am literally asking for a friend. 



 

[Southside]

Looks like a tulip poplar

[Chuck White]

I'll guess Ash.

[cutterboy]

Yes, ash.

[KEC]

The bark, along with the green heart wood suggests Tulip, aka Tulip Poplar, Yellow Poplar.

[KEC]

Stephan 1, I'm curious if you got that walnut if any of it was good. Like to hear "the rest of the story".

[Ron Wenrich]

That isn't a green heart, but more brownish.  I've sawn millions of feet of tulip poplar, and that is ash, of which I've also cut millions of feet.

[Ron Scott]

White ash.

[SwampDonkey]

Roxie's tree is an ash. I have not sawn any up for lumber but I have thousands on my land like weeds.

[KEC]

The end of that log looked greenish to me which did "suggest" tulip.

I did buy all the Walnut and yes some of it was very good. I was able to anchor seal it all as it came the next day to my yard. It came to me the day after I had a carpenter wanting to buy 800 bd ft of KD charcuterie stock. 8-12" wide and 8' long. I bought all the walnut for $4500. I sawed and dried the charcuterie stock and sold it 3 weeks later. Most of the logs had only 1-2 sides clear. I only had 1 clear log at 10' long. I have said almost half of it and it is air drying. I also sold 4 logs to another sawmill I sharpen blades for. I went from having no walnut to having  enough walnut to sell for a few years.
