It's hard to tell. I'd guess maple because of the color and streaking. Do you have a hand plane or a cabinet scraper.
What did it smell like when you milled it?

 

[lupus71]

i have a hand planer im not very good with it though. waiting on thickness planer

 

[lupus71]

i was thinking ash oak or elm but i really have no clue

 

[lupus71]

didnt pay any attention to smell

 

[lupus71]

planed some of it and it got pretty white if that helps any

Usually red and white oak will have spots that turn black on the wood from the chain. I think it's a tannin reaction with the metal. When I put it on the forks of my tractor there will be two long black spots where the forks were. I Can't really tell what it is from the pictures.

You would have noticed a smell from oak or cotton wood.

I don't have a clue. Kinda looks like hop hornbeam I've milled, but the bark is all wrong.

 

[lupus71]

just hope its something worth milling.maybe someone else will chime in with some help.

Sweetgum. Liquidambar styraciflua. Mill it. Mill it good
