Wood ID. Walnut?

Walnut? Really heavy and stringy.

I’m leaning towards hickory of some type. Not shagbark, maybe pig nut?

I concur. I would guess bitternut, but that may only be because I do not know what pignut looks like. I will say, I have never seen a hickory with holes in the sapwood as seen in the photos. When cut, split, and stacked, the bugs get into it in earnest, though.

Audubon Guide says high probability. 😏 Usually five leaflets.
Black Walnut would have darker heart wood. And its leaves are much different, although both species have compound leaves.
I'd take Hickory over Walnut any day. 😁

Seems like I may have seen a couple holes like that at one time, not that many though. I haven't cut much Hickory at all, surprisingly, and don't recall what the tree was that had similar holes.
Yep, the powderpost beetles love that Hickory..sawdust all over the splits. They leave a much smaller hole, though.

Hickory. Black walnut is darker, and easy to split. Hickory is better firewood.
Just wait a few months the woodpile will be covered with fine powder sawdust from bugs in the hickory bark.
I smoked a pork ham last week using hickory wood, delicious.
