Took the day off today to cut and split the wood @Woodsplitter67 and I took from the woods last Saturday.
Very stringy stuff.

I’ll echo that. Didn’t think white oak when I saw it.Looks like Hickory to me.
I'm thinking the same thing. What does it smell like? Hickory usually smells like manure when freshly split and it is HEAVY....At first glance I saw silver maple.
Wet fresh cut ends, with sap collecting dirt. Smooth branches 4" or less. Pale color with lack of grain. Round ball like knot "in the very center of the picture", that split with no issue.
The white oak that I've gotten into is usually a stringy crotched and knotty mess, that takes full length ram strokes, then up end it and do it again just to gnaw through it. Silver maple pops apart, maybe with some flakes or strings holding together but not usually much.
It was not heavy. I did not smell anything "unusual".I'm thinking the same thing. What does it smell like? Hickory usually smells like manure when freshly split and it is HEAVY....
Then I would lean very much towards Silver Maple.It was not heavy. I did not smell anything "unusual".
