I have a few standing dead trees that I can cut down and am curious as to the tree type. I had thought that it may be Sycamore but am not sure. Also, there is a round core in the middle of each round (you can see it in the picture). If anyone give some insight on the wood type it would be greatly appreciated.
Can you Id these splits?

That 5 nipple knot on it tells me it IS sycamore . IF it weren't for that it wood be unidentifiable or maybe PUNK WOOD!
Sycamore has a really distinct ray pattern when it's split or quartersawn. If you split it you may see something that looks like this:

Also- I agree with Lees- those spiky bits remind me of the sycamore I was burning last year.
