Wood I'D & pic help

[DanCorcoran]

It is a young silver maple grown on high ground on the west side of a hill with rocky territory. It appears to have been 22" DBH with a 28' crown.

Just a guess though.

Stirred, not shaken...

Tulip poplar. 73% sure.

My vote cotton.

I think it is Cottonwood.

No Sweetgum votes?
Some of those splits have that torn look to them.

I still have no idea what it is. I'll use some of it for shoulder season in the spring maybe. Whatever it is, it's not great wood. I have 7 cords of oak sitting for this winter, can't wait til it starts to cool off. My labs & I sleeping in front of the stove after a duck or pheasant hunt is just about my favorite thing in the world
