Maybe red maple. Those are some large growth rings. I get powderpost beetles in my red maple quite often.
The suckers coming off some of the rounds look like locust, too. If it's not locust I'd be very interested in what it may be
Looks alot like maple from the bark aspect, but the end grain makes me think otherwise (almost tulip-like). Shown us a close-up of a split piece, that should help nail it down.....
Hybred Honey locust is my first thought , followed by rock maple ( sugar maple) always hard because of colors getting messed by the computers/ mointors.
yeah the wood doesn’t look like any HL I’ve had either which were relatively fresh healthy trees. It looks like it’s well on its way to decaying. I just learned a few months ago that HL doesn’t have the decay resistance of Black Locust. Always assumed it did. I’ve never seen a HL in the process of decay tho. Bark looks like HL to me. Ring structure looks like HL. Only thing that’s off is the color and maybe structural integrity of the wood. Could always toss out the guess of Catalpa. I got that right once Maybe lightening can strike twice LOL
Split a piece yesterday, I am gonna call it maple of some type. Doesn’t matter really , it is pretty much worthless. I will save it for outdoor spring/summer fires or starting.
Agreed on maple. It’s curly too! Figured or tiger maple makes a great guitar body and can be highly valuable in lumber form.
Id say red maple. Okay firewood, dries fast and even faster barkless. Not worthless unless punky or buggy in the center which is rather common around here. Use for shoulder wood and/or mix with higher btu stuff.
