Can anyone help me identify the type. Harvested in central Iowa

comparing pics (yes it's my first year harvesting trees) I'm thinking Elm. but maybe ash?

I am also thinking Elm. When you try to split it you will know for sure

Green ash, all day long.

Look for a small pinhole in the middle of the cutsides, if it's there it is Ash, looks like it to me.

Looks like bitternut hickory to me....seems to be the most common tree to blow over in the woods by me after a storm.

Vote for Elm. Lots of Green Ash around me and none of it has that darker center as in the pics. Could be Black Ash though. As said when split you will know. Kevin

+2 for hickory. Bitternut or Pignut. Splittling will help make a better call. If it smells like nutty barnyard odor I would say that confirms it as hickory. Ash will smell a little bit minty if still fresh. Elm...you'll know.

Ash. Look at the thickness of the bark folks, that ain't no elm.

Ash!

Yep

 

[slickschoppers]

well it splits really easy. so from my experience, Elm is out.

so, from your experiences, i'm betting it's ash. (thank you all!!)

Post a pic of a split piece if you can

Ash

Looks like ash to me, based on the bark, but, this is just my assumption. Please let us know how it splits!

I was thinking the same. All the elm I deal with around here has thin bark.

My guess is pignut or bitternut hickory.
