Elm? Hickory? Something else?

[iceman2424]

Hello fellow woodsmen, I'm trying to I.D. today's scrounge.

At first I thought it was Elm...but it split OK. Not great, but OK. As I understand, Paul Bunyan himself,
equipped with a 300 pound maul couldn't put so much as a dent in Elm.

Then I figured Hickory, for no other reason than Hickory leaves look sort of like Elm. Then, I thought Mulberry, because it was sopping wet, and looked/split like some recent Mulberry rounds I whacked to pieces. Could be Boxelder, too. Actually, leaning that way now...

All of this is a long way of saying I have no clue as to what I just scrounged. Those leaves on that small branch might be a telling clue...

Any ideas? Thanks all!

I'd say Box Elder

I'd say Box Elder

I'm kinda leaning that way too simply because my luck wouldn't allow me to just stumble across something as premium as Hickory.

Boxelder, for certain.

Box elder.

Box elder. It burns. When dry, burn it fast, it floats away.

box elder for sure...
