Wood ID

so i came across this in the bush. It was a fallen tree right next to a signed silver maple. The bush is wet. Didn't think it was ash.

 

If there were darker parts of the heart wood, I'd say it looks like hickory. Is all the wood that light color?

Are there any other pieces or pics?

 

I split a few rounds all that light wood straight through no other colour in the heart wood. No other pics if I get back to the bush tomorrow I can get a pic of the tree.

 

Nice split.
Tells a good climate tale.

 

I was splitting some black Locust today it was great 8c out but because of the cold snap the rounds were still frozen and spilt like butter!

 

my best guess is- ash

 

Looks like Ash to me!

 

Looks like Ash to me!

 

Looks like ash

 

Snap a pick of the end of a round.
Ask will have what looks like a "pin hole" in the center

 

Pine of some sort?

 

I think I like Lukem's suggestion after looking closer.
It does look more like pine.

 

X3 on the Pine. Was my first thought.

 

Hemlock?

 

What does it smell like? Hemlock is too orange of a color here in washington. I recently split some douglas fir, it was just white like that but as they started to dry more, the color orange came more into the heartwood. How well did it split? those fibers looks like a pine.

 

That bark looks a lot like Hickory but the split looks conifer like, I'm confused

 

Basswood

 

Grain, bark, I don't see ash
