Prunus serotina. Black cherry. Kinda smells like watermelon if you smell the wood.

Helps having a horticulture/ forestry degree. Plus I cut timber for 9 years. You learn about 5 different names for every species doing those two things.

Maybe if your Paul Bunyon. It's about like trying to split a firewood round made of rubber.
