Tree ID, please

Found on curbside. No leaves or twigs - Just 12"-16" rounds in 4 foot lengths (Pretty dang handy!). Splits super easy. Thanks, Doug.

How's it smell?

I need a better bark shot to say Slippery Elm but I feel pretty confident the heartwood streaks are Elm.

Red Elm doesnt have any distiguishing scent.
The wood is super wet with those colors.

 

[dougand3]

Doesn't smell like much - other than "wet". Real wet - maybe 50% MC. Here are tighter bark shots.

I have a Resolute Acclaim too, I love that stove.
Thanks for the extra bark shots but they didnt help confirm Red elm. But I still think thats what you have.
Beautiful wood huh? It is medium heat. Like maple or cherry....

Except for the color of the wood being wrong I would call it as Ailanthus. That is also going on the trees that I know from the Northeast. I'm sure there are many that I have never handled in Alabama. It does have wide growth rings. Smoother but lightly textured bark, with vertical pattern. Real wet and heavy when green.

The Resolute Acclaim is one handsome stove. This is a beautiful wood.
From the bark pics I saw on wiki, it does look like Ailanthus but lack of foul odor seems off.
I got 1/3 cord - even if short burn times - the ease of splitting is fabulous. If I miss with 8 lb maul, the air current will split it.

The heartwood looks like walnut. If it is walnut it will have a distinctive odor.

Hickory.

I was thinking the same thing. Bark looks a lot like ailanthus, but heartwood is too dark.

 

[Paulywalnut]

Not walnut bark. Its red something.

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Bitternut Hickory or Pignut Hickory??? Obviously not shagbark.

It's Slippery Elm often called Red Elm. Good firewood, quite rot resistant.

Nice find.
