Wood ID please

So I finally got most of those trees that were dropped off in my driveway cut to size and have started splitting. All of it has been flying apart, so either I am stronger or more pissed off than usual, or else most of it is more likely ash than Maple? I'm assuming the fantastic smelling reddish stuff on the left is oak. The whiter stuff has 3 different types in terms of bark. Some is all white, and other has a brown spine in the middle.

You have no less than 3 species. You need to separate them and show bark and wood grain for any help worth a salt.

My low-value opinion is some cherry, maple, and some kind of poplar. Some of the wood looks like hickory grain, which would be nice, but i see no bark.

I see red oak hard maple and some hickory. Ding ding ding.

Yey! I'll flip some pieces over and show bark next time I do some splitting.

Okay guys, name that wood!

1. Tree of heaven
2.cherry and oak
3. Maple

Huh? Tree of heaven? I always thought Oak was the favorite burning tree. I'm assuming 3 is two different types of Maple, hence the different insides and bark?

I think the first pair of splits in pic 3 is Aspen.

Technical name is ailanthus. Really should be called tree of hell cause it's not worth fooling with.

You guys are feeding me tidbits. Why is Aspen not worth fooling with? What don't I know?

Tree of Heaven is an oxymoron

It's kind of like burning rolled up newspaper. If that's all you have thats what you burn though.

 

[rudysmallfry]

So the stuff that's all white inside is the Aspen? At least it will be good for starting fires and shoulder seasons no? Hell the price was right, so I don't care. I'm getting some nice triceps out of it too.

 

[rudysmallfry]

Ookay, no I'm confused. I just googled Aspen. The bark looks like Birch. This is definitely not Aspen.
