Any idea?

[Barker14]

I recently purchased a home and the previous owner left multiple burl logs that have been in a dry basement for at least 7 years. I am not sure what species they are. Some are de-barkerd and some are not. I have attached some photos in hopes that someone will be able to tell me what they are. Any information would be appreciated.

Have a great day!

Mike

WAG- looks like some type of pine to me.--Welcome.

Looks like tamarack

Lodgepole pine was my first guess, doubt they are from NY.

Spruce? Definitely looks like an evergreen burl. Lucky getting those with the new house. All I got was a old table saw left in the garage.

Thank you all. Mr Peet - we were told through conversations the previous owner got them from Alaska...not sure if that is the correct information.

I see Sitka Spruce Burl from Alaska advertised on a couple other sites regularly and those do look a lot like that.

Thank you all for your responses, seems that Sitka Spruce is likely.
