Agreed- I think it's sugar maple as well. The first picture shows shows those characteristic spalting marks that maple gets.

It looks like it is from the base of the tree too - so the wood is very dense and not easy to split.
"it certainly looks like rotting sugar maple."
A piece or two has rotted, but most is really solid.

Yes, my maul just bounces off of it. I have about 15 pieces cut into blocks, each the size of a milk crate or smaller. Since I have enough wood for 08-09 & 09-10, it will be for the following season. Hopefully 2 years will do it.
