Wood id

This was dropped at work,but not by me I run the mow crew during mow season. Boss let's me take home the soft woods we can't sell for firewood.
I was expecting this to be a type of pine but it has 0 smell and is not sappy and splits real stringy.
My guess is River birch?
I don't know my birches very well
Central Indiana

 

Could be river birch. Only have scored it once. Popular yard tree as its fast growing. A few rounds had punk after only 2-3 months. It was not easy to hand split and dried super light. I wont take it again unless I have to.

 

Yeah, could be river birch. Which is a hardwood, but don't say anything to the boss. Lol

I've never burned it though, only paper Birch here and I like that stuff.

 

It's definitely denser than pine.

 

Any more pics? Went digging and found pics from mine three years ago

 

Judging from your pics I would say it is River birch.
Did you like how it burnt

 

Looks like long dead red pine. It’s pitchy, dense and kind of stringy and really surprisingly decent firewood.

dried up old pine pitch circled in red.

 

Interesting.
0 pine smell
It has a very very faint smell almost like cucumbers. But it's almost non existent

 

This has Black Birch or River Birch written all over it to me

 

guess I should have looked closer… In my defense full sun pictures are never great for identifying stuff. The sun washes out the colors.

 

I thought it had a pine look to it in the OP pics, but he stated there was zero pine smell to it.

 

Sorry for poor pic quality guys.
I split a lot of pine and it all has a pine smell. Even the old gray stuff when cracked has a scent on fresh split
This stuff was cut down in the last 3 months so still high mc.
0 sap 0 pine pitch 0 pine smell
I was 100% sure it was pine before I started splitting it
