Hey Guys,

I'm still in Birmingham, AL.
Had a decent load of firewood given to me and a tad confused on its ID.
Thus far the top 3 ID's are Pecan, White Oak or Pignut Hickory.

Here are pics before and after some sawing and splitting.
Any ideas or thoughts?
Splits okay and is a tad heavy...no leaves or nuts about.

Hickory.

To my knowledge, I have never seen pignut hickory, but these photos are of some kind of hickory. On my property (for what it's worth), if a hickory does not have shaggy bark, it's a bitternut hickory.
