Man that's a tough one, first thought was hickory then ash then not sure? Hope an expert will id and I'd learn something..

Could be ash. Had some that were EAB killed that looked very similar.

 

[Qvist]

My best guess is Red Oak.

im thinking hickory

 

[jackatc1]

Not an expert, but it sure looks like Pig Nut.

 

[Stinkpickle]

Hickory is a good guess.

 

[mark cline]

Cottonwood , what does it smell like?

 

[tadmaz]

Red maple

 

[mark cline]

I would say we need a different sample to look at . We have red oak, red maple , cotton wood, hickory, ash . I think if it’s cotton wood it smells like piss.

I just posted an ID the other day and looked the exact same. Everyone said black walnut. Google imagine black walnut split. Bet ya it will look like exactly what you have.

 

[Simonkenton]

It is not black walnut. I say hickory.

 

[mark cline]

Hickory has a very thin bark

 

[jackatc1]

Mark I think you may have something there!
Plus the split is clean.

 

[blades]

i think i would vote on the hickory side

 

[Simonkenton]

black walnut

 

[Simonkenton]

That pic of mine is fresh split black walnut. Wet dark wood.
It is possible that yours is black walnut that has dried a little and the grain is not so dark.
The bark on yours looks just like black walnut.

Thank you all for the responses, hadn't checked this in a few days. The wood was cut with chainsaw and split on the same day the picture was posted. Smelled like manure when split, which initially made me think red oak or pignut. Was looking for a consensus opinion here to confirm that I'll be putting it into the 2-3 yr pile & not with the ash. Also split easily with splitting axe.

Black walnut has a freaky smell, hard to describe. Sour smell. It is weird, but I like it.

Only woods I've ever split that smelled like manure were Hickory and at times some Oak, but mostly Hickory.

Now that you mention it, I have split oak that smells like manure. Lots of it does, especially red oak.
