Just when I thought I was getting good at this...
This is real close to me along a very quiet road. What is it?
Thanks

Flatbedford said:How do we all feel about Silver or Red Maple? Easy hand split? I guess I'm becoming somewhat of a wood snob, now that I have access to so much easy splitting Red Oak and Ash from my new tree guy ffriend. But the truth is that I don't really have to kill myself on hard to process stuff anymore and don't want to either.

FLINT said:The more I look at it, the more I think that tree in the pic is White Oak. The bark really looks like white oak, more than maple to me. Those little limbs are probably something else that got knocked down when it fell.
I think the lighting of the picture is making the wood look a little darker than it really is.

Flatbedford said:I did put my nose to it. Not pine, I am it is a deciduous tree of some kind. Actually had no strong smell. Didn't have ti cat piss smell of Red Oak either.
I did some googling of scaly barked trees. I think it is a Water Hickory.

The only problem is that it shouldn't be this far north, but it is in a valley, not far from a stream that spills into the Hudson River. I'll have to go back on Sunday and have a better look, if its not already on somebody else's wood pile by then. I'll use a real camera, not the lousy cell phone.
