    In the Willamette valley we have lots of nice nut and fruit woods to choose from. I have about 100 board feet of walnut that I harvested from my front yard, along with plenty of maple of various species, some apple and cherry.

    I supplementally heat with wood too, and get oak firewood in the winter.

    I forgot to mention in my previous post that I have some Dunno Wood growing on the property, too. I suspect that it's the same kind that Dominic has in his backyard, too!

    In Westchester County NY lots of maple , (red back white ) oak , birch and hemlock. I had to cut down ( roots breaking foundation ) a 50 foot oak. I don't think a month goes by when I don't see a tree being taken down ( by a home owner , the highway dept. or a utility). We are just north of New York Ciry but we have a wealth of trees.

    I have to say oak is a great wood to work with but hell to live with, the trees drop more crap and pollen then most.
