Today I had another load dropped and I asked the tree guy if he knew what kind of wood it was. He said that he believes it is some type of maple but not sure what type. He noted the weight and smell to say to say that makes him think its not pine and believes its maple.

The white wood with the way it splintered made me think of some of the boxelder (a type of malple) I have split; however, the bark is not typical for that tree. Can you post a picture of the butt end (round end) of a log?
Here is a pic with the end. Sorry, its been raining a lot here so its a pic of a wet soaked end. Its normally a bit lighter when dry.
Can you post a picture of the bark of the latest split you showed? I still think it is Silver Maple but would like to see the bark on this new piece.
Sure. Keep in mindthat both of the pieces in the pic are actually from the same piece, just split in half.

Does this look like Zelcova tree? I got 3 chords from a neighbor. The tree was 3' in diameter
Any idea if this is Zelkova/Keyaki tree. The base of the tree was approximately 3' in diameter...

Yeah, the wood looks like silver maple, but the bark looks like spruce. Spruce?
