Wood score. Oak?

Definitely not oak. Any leaf pictures?

Here's a few more. Pics while I'm splitting.
Whatever it. Is is. It's very heavy in rounds, once I get a chunk off round splits easily.

I thought I took leaf pic but can't find in phone.

If its splitting that easy, it might not be hard/sugar.

 

[Sully]

The rounds are hard to. Break. But once I get a could. Chunk. Off I can split with two. Swings. Honestly as long as its not poplar I'm good. Anything else is good. In my book. My friend it's gone so time to go get the spliter

I think Red maple too. By the smoother bark on the upper trunk and the pink tinted inner bark. By the bark mostly.

Soft Maple(Red/Silver) for sure. Most definitely NOT Hard Maple.

Good so a one year season?

That's Silver Maple, I believe. I have tons of it in my stack. Dries quick. Something like 17,000,000 BTUs a cord.

The first photos look like red maple. The second pics, not so much. I've worked up a lot of red maple here and don't recall finding that rippling in it.

Have never had the pleasure of working with hard maple so I can't tell ya what it looks like.

So. Maple it is. That's awesome. I say that because I just checked some. Oak one year seasoned and it. Was. Upper 30's. I like the oak but I'm thinking it's not in my future to have the years worth of oak. Property just not right for that kind of load.

I'm attempting to burn 1 year seasoned oak right now. Not going to well.

That "Rippling" is what Curl looks like in log form. Quite common in Soft Maple, also occurs in Hard Maple just not as often, as well as other species as well.

Silver maple for sure!
