ASH

 

[HDRock]

I was going to say or ash But doesn't look like other ash I have
So there is what , white ash, yellow , or red ash ???
Edit: 12 Species of Ash Trees
Edit: more than 60 varieties of Ash trees

Would have to guess white ash given the wood color. I see ash bark, clean grain and clean splits. May be poplar too, I always have issues differentiating those two. No discolored core on these, but they may be too small to show that yet.

Not

Buy the spalting in the picture I would say yes, maple. Silver maple or as its called in my area, swamp maple.

Yeah, when in doubt on oak, just use your nose. I wasn't doubting that what I was splitting today was white oak. However, when I got home with the truckload, the smell was unmistakable from it. What a beautiful smell. Got a cord of it today and will probably get a cord of it toward the end of the week. Really awesome scrounge.

After you handle wood enough you'll be able to tell oak from the weight

[HDRock]

The maple, I thought it must be maple, cuz of the spalting, and color, I split some, oh ya maple
The ash is much lighter than other ash I have seen.

Your maple looks like Red Oak to me. Why is the center of the maple reddish? i think it is a red maple oak with a very wide and slighty rotted sapwood.

Edit: I just noticed that in the reply above I wrote maple instead of oak. I fixed it and I think the wood is Red Oak.

I think it is red maple, It is definitely maple, and the bark isn't shaggy like sugar maple

I'm saying pignut hickory. I don't see any maple leaves on the ground, but I DO see elm and hickory leaves there. Hickory will spalt just like maple, and hickory usually has the darker heartwood, just as your pics show. Definately not oak, doesn't have the right end grain....

 

[TimJ]

I think Wood Duck guessed right.............also a hip piece of a piece of oak has its own unique look

Hickory too. I go by the dB of the grunt after lifting a piece. Hickory gets pretty loud.
