Tonight's what is it tree ID?????!

Ok I cut 100 cords of firewood to sell. I process all the ones that fit threw my processior all winter. The big stuff I put off to the side. Now I'm finally getting to the big and knotted wood. I came to this tree I have no idea what it s cuts nice with chainsaw yellowish tint chips but when I went to split it.
its a mess!
Sorry for the double picks

OK I'm going out on a limb on this one.

Black Gum.

Not common to NH but they do occur.

I cannot confirm that but I have encountered that wood and it almost useless to try and split. It is a battle the entire way.....

It does look like black gum as was mentioned. You'll know soon enough when you try to split it.

The alligator hide is a tell of black gum, aka tupelo. It can be a bear to split. Black gum grows like weeds here, front yard is rife with 'em. I've cut a couple over the years, it doesn't burn all that hot. Not gonna fuss with any more.
