Can you recognize what tree is this?

Very heavy wood.

And how good firewood is.
I got it for free but if it's good I can get 4-5 cords.
Thanks for your time.

Sugar maple is my guess, and it's very good firewood.
You got it for free - you did well.

I concur, sugar maple. Awesome wood.

Definitely some sort of maple. Could be sugar, could be red maple aka swamp maple which isn't nearly as good as sugar maple.

Thank you guys

I can't recognize myself in a mirror but I think you have some kind of maple there. I would say silver but its not that important. Get it split soon or it will rot.

Red maple or a non shaggy Silver maple

Looks like silver maple to me.

Hmm...this is why I visit here. Knowledge. I'll get the wisdom with time/experience in the woods.

All of the silver maple I have cut has a shaggy'ish bark.

I see Honey locust on top of Silver Maple in pic 1. look at the color and the rings. See post ten of mine for the pic.

What all my guys in the tree business call silver maple looks just like that bark on the right of the above pic. What I've heard people call sugar maple has little to no texture in the bark.

What about the smaller log on top in the pic? You think that looks the same ?

I agree smaller one looks like a sugar maple or swamp maple.

Honey Locust actually. Look at the different grain.

I do also, heartwood is much more symetrical. Silver and sugar maple can sometimes look quite similar, I recognize them better sometimes driving down the road than holding a piece. If it is soft maple the upper limbs should be quite smooth and lighter in color, can't comment on red maple
