Picked up a new-to-me saw (https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/choose-me-a-saw.86327/page-2) on CL on Friday, was able to bust it out and buck up some rounds. It's believed Honey locust, but bring it to the professionals here.
Split quite easily, all pretty straight-grained, yellowish heart-wood with a ring of white around the outside (you can see the end of a small round on the right of the first picture). The trees had few branches which made for pretty easy splittin'!
Here's today's work. Quite marginal, but an addition nonetheless to the already split and 1 year c/s/s silver maple in following pictures. I'd estimate about a rick of work done here!
3/4 of the silver maple c/s/s over a sustained period last spring/summer. Should be well and dry by winter!
Grandpa bucked all these round and the others in the post above. He's a bit of a "Rambo" with a chainsaw and doesn't care much about same-sized rounds. Here are the ones that will need to be trimmed down that wouldn't fit in the friend's stove after I offered him to use what he needed over the winter after losing his job (Another reason to stay ahead, right? )
