Need help Id'ing some logs
tom sawyer:
One on left, definitely hackberry. And I agree with Pat about the third one being cherry.
Minuteman:
In the first two pics, I'd say: Sassafras , sassafras, cherry, maple or some kinda hickory maybe, but leaning towards maple and the hackberry is a no brainer. Ain't too many trees got bark like hackberry.
Good haul . Get 'em sealed up quick. :)
duffontap:
Judging from the pictures I would say they are all a score. ;D

all others except the middleone witch is pine are good for bows. pine makes better firewood than bow wood. trust me, pine is the most usuall tree in finland and it sure makes good arrows, but not bows.
Minuteman:
If ya use yer nose you can learn alot about wood. Sassafras smells like root beer , kinda, cherry has a sweet smell to it. And I'm pretty sure the one Finnish is saying is pine is cherry but I'd smell it and know if I were there. Easier to ID when the leaves are on the tree and you have yer tree book with ya.
