    Yep WV Mountaineer is correct.
    I've never burned any just some limbs. Always check the ground for leaves or any branch with some hanging if its a dead tree - makes ID easier

    My southern wood experiment this year is Crepe Myrtle, some decent sized poles from clearing back the powerline

    Magnolia has a unique odor to it. Not like any other wood I know of.

    I was kinda thinking holly, but once you get pricked by them leaves, there's very little room for uncertainty.... Plus, holly is "whiter" right WV Mountaineer?

    Hackberry bark is ROUGH. That bark in the pic isn't ROUGH. It is SMOOTH and looks like elephant skin. It is a MAGNOLIA. You can take that to the bank from a guy that spends a lot of bank on knowing what species certain trees are. :D God Bless

    Smooth grey bark would lead one to think beech, yes..
    But remember where the OP lives...
    And bark can be such a liar...

    Some hackberry can sure fool anyone without the leaves. There's a big one on my place that's almost completely smooth on the limbs. And the trunk doesn't look right for it either. But the leaves can't keep the secret.
