Looks like some sort of pine...

The bark has the look of cottonwood.

Hard to see what you thinking?

Not like much...

I can honestly say I got nothin' around here that looks like that stuff...
I know we have no Pine species here... Those rounds seem too perfect for cottonwood...
Some form of a pine is my guess...
I may be wrong... You got anything there that looks like that?
:msp_confused:

Looks a bit like basswood on #3, possibly white oak. The reddish flaky bark looks like some white types we have here.

Well if it is a Maple type it may be Sycamore looking at the way it twisted splitting! Also what comes to mind is gum then I see some oak in there too!

I was thinking possibly Sycamore on pics 1,2, and 4 also... It's the only wood I've ever split that was that twisted and light color... A bark shot could rule out Elm easy enough...

I've split elm before that was really white just like that. It's been a long time though, and I'm not good at picking out the different elms. Hardly ever see it up in the hills.

Looks a lot like some swamp white oak I picked up last yr. The stumps were twisted like that.

What's the scientific name of this "swamp white oak"? Helpful for those of us who've never heard of that term...:msp_confused:
