Wood ID!!!!

Had this dropped off with a load of ash/red oak and black walnut. Not sure if this is a soft maple or hard maple, or oak... or something else. It splits on the hard side but the grain is somewhat twisted. A fresh saw cut turns grey fast, and the sapwood has a bright white appearance. It smells kind of "fishy" almost.

It is NOT box elder, red oak, or white ash.

Looks like a great wood to burn 2015-2016.

From what I heard its just a bit below sugar maple. I never burned either but would love to.
