I picked up a truck full of this at a highway rest stop near my house this week. I have no idea on the leaves since it was already felled and bucked, but I figured our experts here would be able to help with an ID. It's harder to split than the ash I've been going through recently (but what isn't?) and is fairly stringy as it splits. Located in Central Ohio. Any ideas what it might be?

I don't think that is Cherry based on looking at the magnified pictures, plus Cherry has a rougher grain inside. I believe that is Hickory but the bark and reddish tone to it makes me think it is Shellbark Hickory rather than Shagbark, Shaggy is more grey rather than red. Either way it is great fuelwood!
A quick test would be the smell, Cherry smells sweet while Hickory usually smells like cow manure lol!
