What species of wood is this?

I have about a cord of this sitting on my porch, and have been curious as to what it is. If you guys could help me out that would be awesome!

 

Hard to see the bark
but looks like beech or birch.

 

Beech is usually pretty white throughout. Doesn't have a defined heartwood.

 

here are some better pictures of the bark. and yeah I figured it isn't beech for that reason.

 

Cottonwood or aspen
one of the poplars.
Pretty sure cottonwood but not sure what state (area) you live in.

 

North Central Maryland, thought it was on the info for my profile but I guess not

 

Looks almost identical to some cottonwood I cut last year .
slight greenish smooth bark on the smaller upper trunk & as it grows bigger the rough thicker bark at the bottom.

 

Poplar or Aspen, I'm thinkin'.
Have you burned any yet?
If it leaves a lot of fluffy ash, and burns pretty quickly......see above.

 

Welcome to the forum Donny.

That does look like aspen or popple as some call it.

 

I am just curious. How long has it been split and drying? How does it burn for you?

I'll say Aspen more so than Poplar.

 

Definitely nice to see all these responses on my first thread! Papadave, no i haven't burned any of it yet; it's been about a week since its been c/s/s and this is my first time seeing wood like this. I've only been splitting and burning wood for about a year so I'm still pretty new to all this. I'm glad you guys could help me out as to what this wood is, I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out on my own! Thanks everyone!

 

And if it helps, for being green wood its very light. I was able to get a lot of it in the bed of my buddy's 1/2 ton truck without it sagging down too bad.

 

Firewood!! Every piece of it looks like firewood. It'll burn much better than snowballs...I'd keep it.

 

Must be pretty dry then. When it's wet it usually weighs a metric chitload.

 

No it's definitely green, bubbles of moisture were surrounding the head of my axe if it didn't go all the way through when striking the round. The heartwood is a lot lighter now (of course it would be a little bit lighter because its drying), but there is still a distinct difference between the heartwood and sapwood.
