Which is which

[paultnl]

I have been offered some english cherry for £20 per cube foot, is this a good price?

He is also offering Yew and Oak and has sent pictures, can someone tell me which is which please.

Top Oak, Middle Yew, Bottem Cherry

Thanks Chris. What do you think about the price? the slabs are 2" thick

I'd steer clear of English Cherry as I've had an unfortunate experience with the stuff...the 'murrican variant is much better. Price seems a bit of a steal though...grab it while you can - Rob

The yew and the cherry look pretty wet and unseasoned to my inexpert eye, which might account for the low price ? Fine if you don't want to use straight away but worth checking on with the seller ?

Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul

As Paulm says it looks pretty green and the Oak looks very badly sticked so wonder just how good this stuff is! if it is good A grade it's cheap but if it's wet fire wood well..........

Thanks for the comments, the seller claims it should be ready to use within a year. I think I will pass for now as I don't have the space to season a large batch.
