Wood ID, Ash?

[Wisco Shepherd]

Needing some help identifying this wood, relatively straight grained splits well but very white on a fresh split. Moderately heavy pretty hard I'm thinking ash?

Ash.

Sure looks like basswood to me...only problem with that response is you say it's pretty hard. If you peel the bark, is it stringy?

TO me the bark looks like ash a bit but in the first pic the wood kinda looks like maple almost like it could be norway maple

I like to burn ash. Easy to split, pretty good BTUs. I like the smell of ash when you split it.

Thanks to the emerald ash borer for making all this firewood available to me.
Damn the emerald ash borer, because now, all my ash trees are dead.

Not very stringy, I'm starting to agree with the Ash consensus.

Not very stringy, I'm starting to agree with the Ash consensus.

If the bark isn't stringy, then I'd have to lean the direction of ash, too.
