Yeah, based on the pictures I would say lodgepole. ???  But you said it had leaves. ??? and definately not native. ??? :D  But If you showed that pic to anyone in my neck of the woods they would almost all say lodgepole. :)

I hope you're kidding, lol

...probably my last guess!

Ya, I think we are running out of things to guess. Perhaps it is a new species.  ???

Bibbyman you will have to send a sample into the Forest Products Lab in Madison, WI. If it is a new species have you thought about what you are going to name it?  :D :D

Bibbywood is the obvious choice. Too bad it's extinct now.  ;D

If you mill it and it smells like peanut butter, ailanthus.

Otherwise, I'd say box elder.

Bibby, did you ever saw those logs? Will they remain a mystery for all time?

Bibby, if you want to, when you cut up the log cut a small block of this wood and mail it to me.  I'll see if I can identify it "in person".  Just a piece about 2" wide by 4" long, 1/2" thick will do.  I don't need any bark.  No hurry, and no guarentees.   ;D

Box Elder bleeds when you cut it blood red center heart wood

Could this be a big hawthorn? I cut a smaller one down the other day and it had a very similar wood color.

Bib, have you made any lumber from the logs yet?  ;D


Surely it wasn't maple. Hey, maybe it's one of those huge choke cherries. :D
