Hard to tell . . . I'm better at IDing trees with leafs . . . almost looks like a maple to me though vs. a white ash. Most of the white ash I've seen are more "furrowed" with the bark on older trees.

He's right. And that tree's been tapped. See that heartwood flare out.

Not Ash. I also believe it is in the maple family.

Edit: but it does have some characteristics that could point to hickory.

Another vote for hard maple. Definitely not ash.
