Is this hickory?

 

[Jags]

Pignut hickory, maybe??

 

[PA. Woodsman]

A little hard to tell from that picture but whatever it is it's darn nice looking wood and it looks HEAVY! Whack a piece open and post a picture of the grain.....

 

[ohiojoe13]

It was pretty heavy

 

[Osagebndr]

Looks like ash but a split would be nice to see the core better

 

[Woody Stover]

End grain looks like it could be Hickory but not so much on the bark (I've only seen Pignut and Shag.) More pics would help; Split-face and a mix of bark pics, from large and smaller rounds.

Tough call. Doesn't look like the shagbark I've seen. Might be another variety.

 

[ohiojoe13]

For sure ash on the bottom and new wood on the top.

 

[Woody Stover]

Not sure if the inner bark would be that orange on Hickory, but I don't know? Doesn't look very stringy, like I would expect Hickory to be. I don't have a lot of experience with it so far, though...

With the new pictures I'm leaning towards Norway Maple.

 

[Osagebndr]

+1 on the ash/ maple combo

 

[Rebelduckman]

I'd agree with the ash and maple combo as well

Pignut and Bitternut have a real distinct "X" pattern in the bark. Shagbark is really shaggy. You only need to see it once and you're set to ID it for life.
