All I saw was the trunk. After I split it, realized it isn't Oak. Too wavy to be hickory?
What say you guys?
Limbs were long gone to have a look at the leaves.

I think we will need better pictures of the bark and the end of a split. I am having trouble making out exactly what is shown in the picture = it looks like Red Cedar to me, but I think you'd know if it were. It would smell like a cedar.

Wasn't stringy at all. Is not cedar. No expert but I know that one. I'll see about more pics. 6 lb mail bounced off of another half and when I did get a chunk out of it that's what it was. A chunk. Not a nice split.
Maple??? Did I cut up a big old Birdseye maple?
Prolly gum. Doesn't it have a sweet smell to it? Like a pallet mill?

I cut up my first sweet gum this summer... can't really split hardly any of the bigger rounds by hand. Thats the toughest splitting wood I've encountered so far. I had my cousin try it too... he's a bit stronger than I, and infact holds the record of breaking every single wooden handle axe/maul he has ever had. He didnt get much further than I did.
