What kind of wood is this?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Pat B:
Looking closer at the leaves I see it isn't a witchhazel. Where the leaf is attached to the petiole(leaf stem) on witchhazel one side is longer than the other(oblique). Tag alder has both sides even(acute) and coming down to the petiole and not turning back towards the leaf(cordate) like a heart.

DanaM:
Tag Alder

Hillbilly:
That looks more like hazelnut to me. Hazelnut makes good arrows, I've used it quite a bit. See if you can find some fruits on it. Hazelnut will have nuts inside a green husk, alder has little pine-cone looking fruits. I'm pretty sure that's hazel, though, either Corylus americana or Corylus cornuta.

akila:
Hazelnut....no doubt..

youngbowyer33:
