Beech?

This looks like a very large beech. What do you guys think?

My chainsaw died but I will get a grain picture when I get a chance.

Light grain. Splits easily.

Looks like a nice big soft maple. This one looks like Silver to me. Beech will have lighter wood like that but more of a smooth bark.

That is what confused me. The newer growth is very smooth gray bark. It splits like a dream

Usually younger growth on soft maples will be smooth except for the trunk wood.
Beech will basically be smooth from stump to crown. Sometimes bumpy.

I am guessing it is red maple. My stupid chainsaw broke so I will have to come back for the rest.

I agree with Red Maple.

Soft Maple. Absolutely positive

What's with the bark in your last post ? I took a close up look at the bark. Your comments of beech implies smooth bark.

Could this be Black Birch ? What does it smell like ?

Not Beech for sure with that rough bark. Kevin

Not beech. Maple is a good guess.
