Wood ident please.

[DGB]

Hi folks can you help identify this firewood please?

I'm somewhere between beech and birch but then I'm terrible at this and so i'm asking you.

Thanks

Im not much better, worse most likely?  

 

Could it be Cherry? Looks very dark for Cherry wood though. 

 

some nice spalting there, maybe save it from the Stove?

I was thinking prunus but the colouring may be just due to decay.

Hi All 

Few pics I’ve been sent of a tree that needs removed and the guy is looking to get some of it milled. He says it’s walnut. Thoughts ??

That is walnut and well worth milling. Get some stunning stuff out of that.

It is Walnut. Usually it needs to be bigger to have the decent heartwood colour that is so desirable, worth it if the price is good, it could be better than it looks.
