Is it Oak, I cut so much Cherry I'm not use to looking at anything else.
Nice score, both the wood and the basketball game.

It was definitely heavy and we have a lot of maple here. I've stripped the paint off a lot of oak trim and it definitely isn't oak. I think it is in that weight class though as it looks like it was cut a few weeks ago and not just water weight.
To me I see some green on the insde of one of the cuts so I see maple, On a split I see some red so I'd say Oak. But my bet is Maple.
It looks like it might be pieces of a big old Norway Maple. There is a piece in the truck that looks different, but most of the wood and the bark looks like Norway maple, which is a really common street tree, especially older street trees in the northeast.
S&W it was a long time ago but one spring I cut all our box Elder down as nuisance trees. The bark kind of looked like that iirc.
When I first saw it, I assumed it was something like box elder or poplar. Then, I tried to pick it up. It is a good thing the bed of the trailer sits low.
