Not sure what this is? Only downfall of free wood is not knowing about it. Located in eastern Nebraska.

Red maple, maybe?

Looks like red maple to me, too.

I would've guessed some kind of maple. I'm not too familiar with red, I don't think I've gotten more than a few chunks of it.

I am guessing a Pear tree maybe Bradford Pear. Wood is yellow with lots of branches and bark looks similar.

What does it smell like? Thinking it might be a conifer of some type.

No smell of conifer. That was my first thought from color. Red maple seems most likely.

You are correct my friend! Nice burning wood....

 

[CincyBurner]

+ 1 for callery pear (Pyrus calleryana)

Ask the pup, they have a better sense of smell than we do.

It looks a heck of a lot like the hawthorn I find around here in SE Michigan, as far as scaly bark, orangish color wood, and irregular (not round or oval) shaped trunk . And I know there are may different types of hawthorn. Any big thorns? I share a 600 foot long property line with a farmer's field and someone planted hawthorn many decades ago as a living fence of sort. They are not huge trees, but darn good firewood, up there with hickory.
