I cannot figure out what this is ,it's as heavy and dense as oak,but the wrong color and no distinctive smell.Dries ridiculously slow these splits are a year and a half and still extremely heavy. Rough textured bark.

The bark on the top split has a hickory look to me.

End grain would help

Bark looks like Honey Locust to me.

Honey locust. Won't get much lighter either. It dries in about a year here, but I try to go two if I can.

 

[ScotO]

Yep I agree with Thistle that's honey locust. Get all you can, thats one of the best!

I was also thinking honey locust but posted pictures of the grain side of the splits didn't look right to me.

Gentlemen thanks for the replies,but this is not locust or hickory,I have at least 6 cords of bl and 2 of hickory,know them well. This has me stumped,I will post end grain pics later. Again thanks but somehow we're missing it.

Honey looks nothing like black outside or inside, not many wood types as dense as oak so we have limited types to choose from.

I'm sticking with honey locust. Not black locust (that looks totally different)

Honey Locust. Looks alot differant than Black Locust. This is without a doubt Honey Locust.

Men, I believe those of you who said Honey locust are correct,I didn't think it was as heavy and dense,as it is but it weighs every bit as heavy as any oak I've ever seen.I haven't a clue where it came from as I've never cut any must have been mixed in with a load a tree service gave me a year and a half ago.

Not disagreeing with what you have there at all, but the quote made me think and wonder what type of hickory you have. There is a tremendous difference between shagbark and pignut for example. Around here we have very, very little pignut as most of the hickory here is shagbark.
