Hi, Thanks for your input so far. Here's some closer up pics.

Thanks for the ideas, never come across Lime before. Will post a better grain shot tomorrow.

Could be alder - I've only cut up freshly felled alder before and that was really wet with pink sap literally squirting out when the log grenade went in. I thought horse chestnut spit as well as sweet so shied away from that. I could be very wrong tho' !

Hi all, Been given some wood that was sat in a clients car park, but not sure what it is. My father reckons sweet chestnut (and he used to burn a lot of it), but I'm not convinced as a few smaller pieces @ around 20% moisture burnt without spitting at all in the burner. It's quite light weight and was even when I originally picked it up (lower 30's %). The most striking thing is how dark the cut ends were compared to the fresh cut/ split logs. I know it's probably a real easy one, but I've not seen anything else standing similar in their grounds. apologies if pic doesn't work properly, my first try! http://thumbsnap.com/i/q3b7IRNR.jpg
