Not hickory. But I'm going to say that based on the bark and the leaves, it looks like American Persimmon to me. That would be a pretty good sized Persimmon for PA.

Those leaves are neither maple, ash, or hickory. Where've you seen a Maple leaf that looks like that, Hogz???
Again, going by the leaf, could be Persimmon... the angle on the leaf shot is a little odd / awkward for ID. The ends of the rounds look like Persimmon, as well, although I've never seen the split face of the same.

It's been years since I cut cucumber tree (Magnolia acuminata) wood, but the leaves and leaf arrangement kinda look like it. I've never burned it, but the mills will take the big ones that grow tall in the forest.
Some of the leaves can be huge, like 12" long. The timber guys call them cucs (pronounced "kyooks").

Alrighty than guess when I burn some I'll let u know how it does! Thanks everyone.
Alright, did some searching on the google and the tree is def not a persimmon, I'll take a picture of a fully grown one when I get back down to the woods today. But this tree grows tall and has a shaggy bark when it is mature

Looks like hickory to me. Looks like it was standing dead. When you cut it. But i could be wrong. Ill look when i get home.

That's exactly what it looks like! An it was standing dead, or almost had a few leaves at the top, it came down this winter during a storm.
