Some people call it ash leaf maple
It's not bad in afire. Is much better than willow or cotton wood.... almost as good as silver maple
Utilizing its decorative aspect of the red is its main value in furniture.

I sent him the BTU of it.
He said he will just mix it in as he cut 2 truck loads today.

Box elder becomes very hard when dry and pretty strong for it's weight. I think it was often used for saddle horns.
