Wood Id

[BadHog]

Hey Everyone,

New to the site, been reading for a while now and just starting to get into wood burning, that is, building the wood piles until the wife okays the wood stove.

I had a bunch of logs delivered a few weeks back and I'm spending the weekends cutting and splitting the rounds up and wondering if I could get some help identifying this particular species.

Notes:

very heavy, very easy to split with maul... guessing some kind of hard maple perhaps ( Sugar or Norway?)

Thanks for any help...

Looks like Ash to me!

Norway Maple by the bark and the splits

Yep - that is a maple - most likely Norway to my eyes.

Im leaning toward Norway myself. Thats my guess.

The bark looks like hickory. Probably maple though. It's not silver maple so it's good stuff.

Norway Maple. Bark like Ash, but usually with a dark heartwood like the wood in your pictures.

Yup maple for sure
