Was looking at some firewood in the "back 40" of my family land and the loggers pushed this tree up and to the side of the road they built. Looks like ash to me but I am not 100%. What do you think?

Thanks
 
Nice of them to push that ash up to the road for you. They knew it would make you some great firewood.

Need to see grains. Could be ash could be white walnut or something else
 
Definitely ash(white), looks like a hornbeam sapling on top of the trunk also.
 
after I spent the morning figuring out why my splitter wouldn't run, I went back to my firewood woods to cut on that tree ided as ash. Splitting is somewhat different. I guess I am questioning the species. It is kinda cross grained. Seems light. I usually cut oak or hickory and that is some heavy wood but it is all I have to compare it to. I may be wrong completely, I just don't want to cut some wood and it turns out to not being good, or something comparable to oak as it is plentiful. What do yall hink?
