Looks kind of like Norway Maple, it has dark heartwood/ white sapwood like that, though bark doesn't look correct.
Norway has tight x pattern bark typically...
Any notable smell? Maple is a sweet fruity sugarcane smell, hickory sweet nutty with a barnyard smell, pine...smells like pine.
Then is Sure Ain't Silver Maple.....So I did the smell test DEFINITELY a sweet fruity sugarcane smell... honestly we think it even smells like apples! Smells incredible.
Still considered a silver maple or is it sugar maple?
Then is Sure Ain't Silver Maple.....
Everything screams maple - except for the quite large dark center. I have seen maples with a dark center but not usually that big. The only thing I know of that does is walnut. That said - I still think its maple.
