I've got no clue on species but they do both seem very rotten - They may not be worth saving at this point.

The species on top is still pretty solid. Both maple? I've already got a buttload of silver and red.

I will give another vote that #1 is Ailanthus. Not sure of the other but maple seems reasonable, and it definitely is punky. If it is solid enough to split, not shatter, then it is worth saving. Keep it covered because punky wood will absorb water.

The bark does not look like maple around here, but keep in mind the pics are from Alabama, so the different bark could be a regional difference. I think the wood has rotted in a way that resembles the way maple gets punky, but I am far from certain it is maple.

I think it's punky enough now I could go ahead and burn it if we get another cold snap this year, provided I can dry it out in time.
