Neversource dropped this for me last August, too close to the road and their lines. Been sitting as rounds since then, took a few whacks at it today since it's 70 out!

Not sure what it is, smells beechy...any thoughts?

It's definitely heavy enough and was not terrible to split with the maul. Thought the bark would be rougher for hickory. Not like shagbark but more raised.

I’ve seen sections of bark on shagbark that look like that, too.

Thanks - now to get it split and stacked, sooner than later -

We started calling it Neversource back in 2017. They haven't disappointed...
