Hello, I recently got a pile of 2yr dried stuff but I dont know what it is. Super light shoulda been my first clue, I thot it was ash but this looks like White Pine to me. Zero sap. White inside. Flaky bark. Near no scent at all. Splits kinda easy, seems spongy. Definitely soft. Thanks in advance!!
Thanks, that makes sense now, this area is over run with maple, i also remember getting a load of sugar maple from a kid once and it is identical woodgrain wise as this stuff. Most people around here only sell hardwood, i do remember that one time load.
Sounds like basswood being white inside and super light in weight. One pic the bark looks like it but the others no. Bark looks red maplish as does the barkless split.
No matter how sharp your chain basswood usually has some fuzzies on the cut edge of the bark. That bark tells me it's some sort of soft maple which is pretty light compared to hard maple.
