My weekends work and a wood id (pics)

Ive been stock piling wood (mostly from Irene) and waiting till I had enough to make renting a splitter worth it. Well I think I accomplished my goal. Heres what 10 hours of work with the right tools and good friend can do!

Mostly Oak, some poplar, locust, maple, dogwood, pecan, and this mystery wood (which I hope is some what decent but dont think it is). Pretty much if it could possibly live in eastren NC its in this pile! Such is the life of a scournger!

The mystery wood was crazy. Some times it would make nice pretty splits, other times it was just a fibrous mess and nasty! Any ID's out there? The guy whos yard I got the wood from didnt remeber today at church, I do remeber the tree was huge, 4+' in diameter at the base (which is still in his yard)

both splits are the same type of wood. the stringy stuff is some where burried under all the rest of the wood, but was from the same tree as these splits

Home owner said it could have been sweet gum, but I didnt see ANY of the little seed pods which get every where so Im guessing its not sweet gum.

Sorry bout the pics theyre cell phone. Ill have to see if I can find the camera while were stacking...

sure glad I had the splitter. I tried one round with a sledge and wedge... did not go so well.
