Looks like ash to me, probably green ash though I don't really know the difference between green and white unless there are leaves to look at. Ash always smells good to me, not as good as apple or cherry but a good fragrance non the less.
Any idea what this is? Leaf looks like ash, but only has six leaves on each stem. Cleaning up some blowdowns and was just cut last night. Smells really good as I'm cutting it.
My vote would be Cottonwood. Green it is a bear to split but once the barks gone and it looks like what's in the pics it splits much easier.
Got a load of this stuff, initial thought was American Elm now I am not so certain. Any ideas, it is light and splits pretty easy.

Agreed... The flat ridges in the bark and dark heart wood are give away's... The banshee knows his hickory... :msp_tongue:
Ok, just to confirm, the below pics are Bitternut Hickory?
Sure looks like alot of Ash we have around here, don't think we have much Hickory.

Looks like ash to me too.

My guess too. I don't see much of it in the wild. Mostly here it's a weed tree. grows in abandoned lots in urban settings alongside tree of heaven.

Similar, yes... But something's not right about it...
Here's what I'd call "Typical" Ash bark. from a decent sized tree.

Everyone seems to hate boxelder for some reason... It's BTU's aren't horrible... Not great either... It's a tad better than Silver Maple...

Unwanted Riff Raff.
As mentioned above, they're a weed. I hate em more as a tree than I do as firewood. They'll take over a fenceline faster than anything, and will spread their branches out over the field instead of having the common courtesy to grow vertically.
I burn the stuff spring and fall, and in the fire pit. I'll burn it midwinter if I'm around to tend the stove, it doesn't last very long.

We just don't have many here... They can't compete with all the Hedge trees in the fence rows...
Yes... That's a fence row...:hmm3grin2orange:

Ok I was thinking boxelder but wasn't sure, don't see it in RI very often. I've cut a couple hundred cords and never had one. I cut this one off a guys house after irene. Well worth it the guy is letting me cut his black walnut that is at least 24" at dbh and straight for at least 16'
