Leaves look like this?

 

[Slacker]

What is it? I split one piece with a maul, split like butter. The heart has a yellow tint for sure. The leaves were long and thin.

They are brown and on the ground. They looked skinnier to me, I will try to get a pic tomorrow.

You thinking Siberian elm?

Looks like silver maple. Leaves will curl and look thin when they dry. Bark is also thin and separating from wood in your pictures as well.

It's not silver maple. I have cut and split tons of that stuff. I don't rule out the possibility of a different maple species.

Was thinking Chinese Elm..
Ornamental yard tree. Flakey bark. Don’t get real big like the Siberian, American, and Red.


Good call on those saw toothed leaves.

I think black walnut.
It is in a bottom, growing on the bank of a stream.
What say ?

 

[Cat 525]

That is walnut!

Kinda rusty and haven't been in the woods for awhile.
Went and picked a load of what was described as hickory, but it sure cut easier than any hickory I ever harvested.
Then again maybe I'm underestimating the power and balls of my 261c with a 16 inch bar/square chisel chain!!
Whats you studs I.D.?

 

[RI Chevy]

Almost looks like white oak.

My guess is tulip Poplar.

 

[Skinnyminnie]

I would've guessed white oak also. How are the branches? Can you bend them in half before they break? If it even will break. Could be black oak if that's the case.

They're not easy to snap thats for sure.

My guess is tulip Poplar.

Not like any popular I've ever dealt with...wayyyyyyyyyy too heavy.

Here are more pics:

There's a New Possibility: "White Ash!"

There's a New Possibility: "White Ash!"

That would be my guess.

 

[CrystalRiver1]

That would be my guess.

Or good ole Mockernut hickory!

 

[Coltont]

How about black gum?

 

[Slacker]

The lack of heartwood is a good clue.
I think identifying the hardwoods that have no heartwood would narrow down the possibilities.
