Need to see the end cut.
 
Wood heat is good if you do not mind the work.

Show a picture of the grain please. I'm thinking Hickory but could be wrong.....

Looked closer at the bark in the second picture, and saw some smoothness to parts of it, so probably not Hickory. Maybe some sort of Maple but the grain picture would help.
 
LOOKS like hard maple to me but a grain picture just to make sure.
 
Looks like pignut hickory
 
Doesn't look punky to me, maybe my eyes are bad
 
Don't look like Hickory to me, my guess is Maple

Could be Norway maple....
 
I'm with the Hickory group. Hard Maple or Hickory - either way great firewood so nice score.
 
Yep, maple or hickory. I would lean toward hard or norway maple, but I don't cut any hickory. Either way good firewood.
 
Pignut

Thanks for the help. I got most of it cut up last night and some of it split. My 16 inch craftsman chain saw is not keeping up so if I'm gonna get serious about it I'm gonna need to upgrade.
 
We've all been there. We can help you spend money, and lots ( or a little) of it :)

I started with a poulon saw and never regretted upgrading larger(except that I still want a 70 cc now). Work on good chain sharpening skills; something I wish I would have figured out earlier.

Absolutely about the sharp chain. It can make all the difference in the world.
