Willow?

Reasonably certain that is lime. It cuts incredibly easily when felling (the usual giveaway).

Agreed Big J, I thought possibly lime as an alternative, the coloring just inside the bark and the twigs could point to that.

That was my first thought when seeing the picture

It was very easy to cut through now I come to think of it

Yep, lime.

 

Lovely firewood. Splits easily, seasons extremely quickly, bright, strong flame. Won't last as long as oak or ash on the fire, but split now, it would be under 20% MC by June.

Maybe I should of viewed it on the PC before giving my verdict rather than I phone.

 

I did think lime to begin with

Deffo ash if your felling ones on the side of a field with a lean put a ratchet strap on them 18 inchs above the gob. Had a big un do it split out as the bar had not gone through.

 

Limes like splitting out aswell.

 

did you bore cut?

did you bore cut?

 

No on a bank poor footing easier to do standard felling cuts plus didn't look like there was any tension on way or other.
