Please help ID this mystery wood!

Hey guys, I got 3 cords of this stuff for $150bux delivered. It has no smell and is relativley easy to split. Most of the pieces were 20" in diameter. Really nice and round. I have no idea what it is tho.

Looks like Poplar, but could be Ash as well :msp_unsure:

I was thinking long the lines of hickory but hey I am asking you guys to give an ID Most of the time.
So don't count on my opinion. :msp_confused:

Any guesses on this. It is rather stringy when splitting and smells foul.

Did you get that out of a yard? Or the woods... looks like an ornamental... :msp_confused:

Well, after fighting my camera battery and software here are some pics. Cut this by a large creek,(Burnett's Creek), just up from the Wabash River. Have no idea what it is. It splits terrible. Center just bounces. Have to split it on the edge and work around. Very fiberous. Worse then Hackberry!

That my friend is ELM!

I agree, Elm quite a ##### to split green ... although at 2 or 3 years AD and still standing, they split by hand easily.

 

[walnut1]

Thanks for your replys folks. It smells kind of sour and splits green like nothin else I've ever split. Have to drive the maul through with a sledge clear to the bottom. I had no idea elm was so stringy when green. If I cut more I'll just stack it for a year or two. Glad to know it's elm. Not the greatest wood but it'll heat my house ok. Thanks.

It was on an overgrown lot that a developer is clearing.

Halligan:
Your firewood look like Tree of Heaven to me.
I am thinking it will be very light weight when dry.

That stuff with the chunky bark a few post back has me stumped.
