If this is the wrong form please relocate. When I picked this up I thought it was Black oak but it's definitely not. I've split a lot of oak and I'm pretty sure this is a maple of some sort silver perhaps, any help be appreciated.
I'm in Southern New Jersey

Looks like hickory to me. Hickory is so hard to split that I can't split it with a maul.
 
My first thought was also Norway (not typical, little punky). I don't know hickory.
 
it maybe maple..... everytime ive dealt with white and green ash ot seemed to be pretty clean split now i havent really dealt with black or blue ash before
 
I cut some wood that looked like that last year. It was actually a tree in amongst some ash, and until I cut into the tree with my chainsaw I thought it was an ash. I believe in my case it’s hickory. I found some hickory looking nuts nearby.
