Need help with this one. Cuts super easy and throws nice sized flakes from the saw. Has kind of a bitterish smell.
That end cut pic looks like red maple to me. I haven't cut a lot of it though. Typically see a darker heart wood.
Magnolia would explain why the saw was carving big chips. It’s a soft, almost poplar like wood to cut.
Bark definitely looks like (red) maple. I was expecting to see a dark center though. I love maple. Dries fast, burns hot, not much coals left (to burn down) when it's time to stoke the next fire.
