figgy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Don't look like ash to me Ash I have has a rippled bark not smooth. Looks like a Sycamore or Horse Chestnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Are you being serious?It's timbers we don't use in our trade so anything is a total guess. We use ash I admit but mines cut open so I can see the grain Edited April 2, 2016 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buze Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 given the quality of the log, I'd suggest you don't burn it and sell it to a woodturner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 The problem with turning this stuff is it'll look great now but break in two when it drys out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Looks like sycamore. Split and cut to size now and it will be lovely to burn this winter. Mixed with ash it's great. It's not bad on its own but a but quicker than ash to burn so goes well in a wood burner when u can control it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
