Turpentine smell, mahog look
--Question: what wood is it? Seem to have a lot of it in the current
pile of firewood. Very pronounced smell when cutting on the bandsaw; looks a little like aged, i.e. greying mahogany on the cut face. Very gnarly bark like on an oak tree. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Are you prepared to Hacking the Trailing Edge! : obey the Noodly Master?? http://www.nmpproducts.com/intro.htm ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |
Turpentine smell, mahog look
Hi steamer
Steamer I don't know where you live but a pine wood or spruce is very likely, turpentine is made from yellow pine, Balsam Fir also has a lot of resin in it, the bleu/grey color would be blue stain or fungus, very prevalent in softwoods, just an educated guess. http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum28.html Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo |

Goin' with Leo on this one. It could easily be a pine/fir/hemlock with
the gray. That only means exposure to the elements on those types of trees. We have some large pines here in Texas, and the bark on them in just nasty. It is tough, and come off in hunks. If your firewood was cut from a rotted tree, it almost assuredly something like Leo said, especially with the wonderful turpentine/pitch smell. Robert |
