Some pictures of the "wood processing" area.
And a lovely piece with ancient barbed wire. I thought I was below it, but it was in way deeper than I thought. Hello saw file!

If that one in the foreground was here, I'd say it was pine.

If there is any metal in a tree trunk, I always manage to find it.

Nope, I don't cut pine whether it is living or dead. Definitely second rate wood for heating. But I agree, the bark on that one sure does look like pine bark. No idea what it is though. I know there is oak, maple, beech, birch, cherry

Lighter pine or pitch pine is an excellent fire starter. We have logs of a large pine tree that was cut in October 2014 and they still have the bark on. The whole tree was full of sap.

Don't need that much fire starter 
Pretty much burn 24x7, need wood that burns slow.

Cut down another tree yesterday, got the smaller branches (the 4ish" ones) back to the "staging area" but not the trunk and big branches. I was going to go bring some more in from the woods today but after grocery shopping and lunch and looking at the weather forecast, decided I REALLLLLLLLY needed to get the garden tractor set up for blowing snow. Otherwise it will snow a foot over night instead of only 4" overnight and tomorrow.
