Learned something today. Yeah, the wood rots real fast here. Lot of ads on craiglist with " seasoned logs" al covered in fungus and punky

I wouldn't want to have 100% SM, but I love the stuff for mixing a few splits into a load...it just gets things rolling so well! Great shoulder season wood too!

Not positive, but it looks more like sugar (hard) than silver maple. It's more scaly and platy, than silver which breaks into regular, thinner strips.
From the pics the wood looks sounds. Split, or make a couple cuts with a saw to check.
