I'm thinking hickory?

[Cburke]

Hey guys like the title states I'm thinking hickory any one else? Thanks!

 

[Woody Stover]

I don't think so. Doesn't look like a compound leaf.

Ash?

 

[Hogwildz]

Maple be my guess, don't look like Hickory to me

 

[DBoon]

Not hickory. But I'm going to say that based on the bark and the leaves, it looks like American Persimmon to me. That would be a pretty good sized Persimmon for PA.

Never heard of this tree haha good wood?

Those leaves are neither maple, ash, or hickory. Where've you seen a Maple leaf that looks like that, Hogz???

Again, going by the leaf, could be Persimmon... the angle on the leaf shot is a little odd / awkward for ID. The ends of the rounds look like Persimmon, as well, although I've never seen the split face of the same.

It's been years since I cut cucumber tree (Magnolia acuminata) wood, but the leaves and leaf arrangement kinda look like it. I've never burned it, but the mills will take the big ones that grow tall in the forest.

Some of the leaves can be huge, like 12" long. The timber guys call them cucs (pronounced "kyooks").

Pretty sure it ain't persimmon

Alrighty than guess when I burn some I'll let u know how it does! Thanks everyone.

Alright, did some searching on the google and the tree is def not a persimmon, I'll take a picture of a fully grown one when I get back down to the woods today. But this tree grows tall and has a shaggy bark when it is mature

 

[Chimney Smoke]

The leaves look like shagbark hickory to me. The bark doesn't though.

 

[TreePointer]

Cburke, check the leaves again. Shagbark hickory has a compound leaf with five leaflets and with each leaflet having a finely toothed margin. Cucumbertree leaves have a smooth edge.

 

[Applesister]

2nd vote for cucumbertree. The leaves look whorled and leathery and smooth margined.

Horse Chestnut

I'm not seeing toothed leaves. Could be a poor picture?

 

[Lakeside]

I am stumped but know that's BTU's soo burn it ! Still a little surprised that it appears to be an unsolved mystery after 3 days or is the consensuses that it is a cucumbertree ?

Ah true, I spaced on the leaf, was looking more at the wood and the bark. Leaf is def not Maple. my bad.

Looks like hickory to me. Looks like it was standing dead. When you cut it. But i could be wrong. Ill look when i get home.

 

[Silenced38]

Does this not look the same?

[Silenced38]
