Gonna go with white oak. Except that piece standing up in the corner . But it could be.

 

i'm thinking pine or possibly gum. a pic of the split would help.

 

Definitely not pine

 

Splits nice, but I think it's elm.

 

Almost looks like some old cherry in some ways

 

I vote red elm from those views

 

I agree it's elm.

 

That was my thought

 

Well the petrified wood split nice with the maul when i split it for the pic. I just got done splitting the truckload and the pieces closer to the stump werent dried out. They were stringy as hell and a PIA TO SPLIT. Elm is the winner i guess. I love the really dry petrified stuff.

 

almost looks like silver maple to me

 

I almost said tupelo, but the split rules that out. Looks very Elm like

 

Bark reminds me of hemlock and tupelo as mr.finn stated, but the way its peeling off and there is no rot, id say elm The nice clean split threw me but i dont have much experience with elm. One of my "taboo" woods as i hand split.
Nice wood regardless! Did you put a MM to it Woodwhore ?

 

It looks like Red Elm to me also!

 

1/2 was high 30’s other petrified half was 23%
