Just got some on a recent scrounge.....what is it? Its all the same wood too. The one picture makes it look darker.....there was some variation on woodtone, but not that extreme.

dannynelson77 said:My inital thought was Silver.....but man its heavy! I guess Silver holds a lot of water? The weight is what threw me off. I never cut Silver but this stuff was free so. Was trying to compare this cut wood to the Silver Maple in my yard. Bark was slightly different so I thought I'd ask the experts here.

Yes silver does. Use it this fall its not bad firewood. Trunk will be really good!
dannynelson77 said:You might be right as they are smaller on this wood than the Silver in my yard. And the silver in my yard is even a smaller tree than this.
