I know this isn't Shagbark hickory, but just curious to what you guys think??
Looks like Sand Hickory...kinda...

Closeup of endgrain helps. Top stick looks like ash. Hickory is also ring porous

Pig nut.

 

[Cat 525]

Agree on pig nut

Pig nut.

That or pecan.

This looks like some sort of Locust, by the bark. Hard, heavy, dense but not a yellow tint to the wood. No spikes, either.
Any guesses?

Looks like honey locust. Probably a hybrid or an ornamental given that it doesn’t have thorns

That was my thought. I cut a couple cord of Honey locust a couple years back but the wood has a slight yellow tint, even when dry. Not as dramatic as the Black Locust we have here but still yellow. This stuff looks more like Birch, in color. Cutting this dead, dry stuff reminded me of old, dead white Eucalyptus back in Cali.

My app says some kind of locust ?

I don’t know. Usually the black locust varieties show the yellow and brown in the end grain cuts and honey locust is pink with a light ring around the outer perimeter. And I can tell it’s honey Locust by the picture in the middle of the tree with the scaly bark

Had to look that one up. Called a purple robe locust. May have to figure if they can be started from cuttings as much as they sell for.

That's a honey locust. We have some with thorns, others without, around here. Fantastic firewood.

 

[Mastermind]

It is honey Locust.

Good morning my friend. Long time no read.

 

[Woodpecker]

Yep it’s one of the dozens of honey locust cultivars

Damn fine firewood

 

[Woodwackr]

Damn fine firewood

. Awesome…when this lot gets demoed I get all the hardwood trees. 6-8 Locust, a bunch of red Maples, walnut. Probably a good 10 cord.
I passed on the 400 cord worth of poplar/ Cottonwood

Damn fine firewood

Love the trees and the firewood but working on them and their thousands of tiny tangling branches can fúck right off.

Fine artisanal doomsday firewood. Shït lasts forever in split stacks.
