Scrounged some wood from a neighbors tree this weekend and I'm not sure what it is. Here is what I know:
1. Very white wood with a 1/4" dark center on limbs (he has not taken the main trunk down yet)
2. There were silver maple leafs around the tree but there are many other trees in the area as well
3. When he cut the limbs it was like someone turned on a hose...water was just running out the cut surface
4. Twisted grain but it splits like a dream. Wood just explodes with one hit.
Here are some pics, I attached a pic of a big leaf maple that I scrounged from his yard as well as reference. (just so you know, big leaf maple is heavy and a B&&&ch; to split)
Here is the bark
Here is the wood
