What Kind of Tree is This?

It sure looks like ash. Does it have an open grain like oak? Maybe if you take a small slice from it, sand it. and rub some finish on it then post a close up shot it might be easier to see the grain for a better ID.

Randy, Ash for sure since I am just a few miles from you. :) Looks like you got the base of the tree.

I cut a fair amount of ash, I would guess it’s ash.

Yep Randy it’s part of the base and as I had expected it was Ash.

Be careful.Ash has a number of problems these days. Insects are killing them off, and they are forbidden from interstate movement. Otherwise what are you planning if anything, at this point.

Good idea, to ask and great to get responses. Have a few pieces I might ask for confirmation once I get going and catch up to you…ya right!

Nothing projected as of yet Thomas but most likely boxes.

It is gonna have a bunch of “goofy” grain judging from the bark.
Bet it’ll look good.
