Wood ID

Yes please do, I am very interested in what it is since you said it doesn't have any aroma, and Pine sure does! This is a baffler....

Today I had another load dropped and I asked the tree guy if he knew what kind of wood it was. He said that he believes it is some type of maple but not sure what type. He noted the weight and smell to say to say that makes him think its not pine and believes its maple.

The white wood with the way it splintered made me think of some of the boxelder (a type of malple) I have split; however, the bark is not typical for that tree. Can you post a picture of the butt end (round end) of a log?

Here is a pic with the end. Sorry, its been raining a lot here so its a pic of a wet soaked end. Its normally a bit lighter when dry.

I think I have some of the same wood in my pile and a round I kept as a splitting block. I almost posted it for an ID too. Is the inner bark kind of Orangey in color?

Posted a pic if the end. Its wet so take the color into consideration.

Can you post a picture of the bark of the latest split you showed? I still think it is Silver Maple but would like to see the bark on this new piece.

Sure. Keep in mindthat both of the pieces in the pic are actually from the same piece, just split in half.

Just what I thought it was, Silver Maple I am quite sure....

Zelkova wood has a deep orange-red heartwood, and it STINKS.

Does the OP still have access to buds from his tree ? leaves ? Is branching habit opposite or alternate ?

Does this look like Zelcova tree? I got 3 chords from a neighbor. The tree was 3' in diameter

Any idea if this is Zelkova/Keyaki tree. The base of the tree was approximately 3' in diameter...

Wow....the white inside is like Silver Maple is here, but the bark looks a bit off. This is a good one!

Yeah, the wood looks like silver maple, but the bark looks like spruce. Spruce?
