Why would that be so funny?

Swamp Donkey may still have the last laugh. Its pretty tough sitting here looking at ambiguous photos and come up with a definitive answer. I'll bet if Donk and I were standing next to the actual logs to examine them, we would come up with a common consensus.

Just giving you guys a hard time...my answer...notsweetgum.

Anybody try the Google Goggles App for identifying by bark? I have tried it with leaves with a fair bit of success...it still will not tell the difference between red maple amd norway maple for some reason...never thought to try it on bark.

My first thought was aspen.

But if that log sat a while I would be inclined to say upper log of box elder...

This is definately Aspen.  In the one picture, there is a brown stain on the end of the log.  That is discolored hearwood.  I see it all the time, especially when sawing big aspens and cottonwoods.

I just wanna see some boards outta those logs!  For my.02 worth, it looks like aspen to me too.  Basswood that I have cut in n. Wisconsin and the U P looks too different.
