I just processed two cords of sweet gum. That does not look anything like sweet gum.

Have you split any of it yet? Can you post a picture if so, and also a close up of one of the end grains.
it looks like there is a few different types of wood some of it looks like oak.a good way to tell if it may be sweet gum is to try to split it by hand,if its impossible to split it may be sweet gum.

Bark resembles that of gum... but gum rounds usually have a dark brown center that looks like a bullseye.
