Maple?

[Rob711]

this was a tree that fell a few weeks ago in my yard. I got to it today. I think it’s some sorta maple. Probably 14” diameter at base. Kinda light weight.

Looks like Tulip Poplar to me

Looks to be poplar.. lower in the BTUs.. but its free and a good shoulder season wood.. also dries super quick.. this past season i cut and split some in mid january and was read the latter part of April

My guess was also poplar. There are a handful visible from my window, so it was easy.

Thanks everyone, I had to deal with it anyway. It’s cut up waiting to be split, I think I’m good for the next two yrs wood wise. Maybe I’ll split it sooner than later and I can use it March/April. I’m waiting for my neighbors dead standing oak to drop some more limbs!

This is that rare photo ID where there's no question. Tulip poplar. It's the only thing with that type of leaf, and the bark fits too.

You could burn it by March, but I'd wait until Fall.

Poplar. Not very popular because it is garbage wood.

Since I cut it figured mine as well split it

Liriodendron has a tendency for funky splits - it doesn't always split straight. But it dries quickly. OK shoulder season wood.
I wouldn't go out of way for it, split too much, or take too much valuable stacking space.
