Hey everyone...just picked up some wood, need some help IDing it. Looks to be a maple maybe? [Hearth.com] Wood ID Help - Southern CT[Hearth.com] Wood ID Help - Southern CT[Hearth.com] Wood ID Help - Southern CT
 
How's it split? Thinking possibly elm.
 
I'll split a piece tonight after work and see...I'll take a pic of the inside of the wood too! Elm is usually much harder to split and stringier right?
 
Red Maple. The bark on Norway Maple is more like Ash bark, with diamond patterns. This might also be Silver Maple, but I don't see a lot of Silver Maples so to me it looks more like REd maple.
