Yeah..
That’s a maple big as *s-word.

Them are big rounds. The gray scale bark is wide, but seems tighter due to the pic perspective.

Lots of white oak leaves on the ground. Could be from a nearby white oak.

My wife tells me all the time I need glasses. I am using readers from Dollar tree.....1x for $1.
ID'ing bark/wood is a lot harder than ID'ing leaves. That's what I get for taking Forestry in the Fall semester.

I just cut it. I don't care, as long as it's hard wood. Lol

I agree 100%. I'd go with my Dad, as a Kid, to cut firewood. Usually an early, cold, Saturday morning. I'd ask my Dad what kind of tree is that. He'd say the burning kind. He knew enough to make it work. I broke a few wood axe/maul handles learning to split wood. Red Oak was easy to split green.

I suggest you don't waste time on learning leaves. That is useless in the winter. Learn trees by bark, structure, shape and buds. They don't change throughout the year.

I agree. I use to know my leaves fairly well. But I agree with improving your knowledge on identifying trees other than leaves.
I learned a lot from an intern I did with the US Forest Service. An old-timer taught me more than my professor.
I might post a few odd-ball hardwood trees that old-timer helped with from a nearby National Forest and see if someone can ID them.
