I think this may be a smaller one of the same variety.

The cut blocks look like hickory

 

[Shanen Mannies]

I don't think that the standing one is the same, Oak of some sort

 

[CaseyForrest]

The branch structure looks similar to the larger ones we are pushing over. But the leaves look like hornbeam. But hornbeam has a more upright growth pattern.

I'm hoping they are hickory. If they are, I'm swimming in it.

The woodpeckers sure do like it. Not so much in the larger trunk sections, but about 10" and smaller.

Mature shagbark maybe? Here's one where I can see the transition into the shaggy bark.

The cut blocks look like smooth bark or mock nut hickory. The tree looks like hardhack also called hornbeam.

 

[Shanen Mannies]

Smooth bark, not sure what the correct name is

Top one looks like mockernut. Second one is ironwood.

I thought ironwood and beech were the same?

Hop hornbeam and ironwood are different names for same tree. Beech is separate.

Thanks. Can't remember what I read that had me thinking otherwise.

The Standing tree is a Hop Hornbeam. Also called (just) Hornbeam and Ironwood. If kept dry, it will be real good firewood. Most of them never get very big.

There is also a tree called Hornbeam. Also called Muscle wood and Blue Beech.
They grow in much the same places that Hop Hornbeam grow so there are most likely some around.

That is a nice looking pile of Hickory logs. Will it end up in your firewood pile???

Hornbeam is often called blue beech whick has bark like a beech.
Hophorn beam is also called ironwood like the tree you have pictured.

Here's the biggest ironwood I've ever seen.

In the New England states Horn hop beam and Ironwood are often called Hardack.They do have a somewhat shagy bark.They don't as a rule get anywhere near as big as in the picture Casey posted and the one shown with the old fella is a giant!

It won't all end up in my firewood pile. But as much as I can store without admitting I have a problem will follow me home.
