wood ID question

[abob30]

Could you guys confirm the ID of this wood? It splits real easy and has a light olive green center. Some of the rounds have a dark black core within the green center. I'm not absolutely certain but thought it may be cottonwood? ThanksView attachment 201328

Welcome aboard! How about a picture of the bark or leaves? My preliminary guess is poplar.

I would say that it looks like poplar with that green coloring.

I say poplar also...... but wood like to see the bark also.

Thanks for the input and here's a shot of the bark.

poprlar turns all those different colors inside when it lays in the dirt/mud for a bit without being split
i had a piece last year with about every color of the rainbow on the inside
poplar 100%

is the piece on the right is also from the same tree ?

the black can sometimes just be some rotton crap black ants leave behind in many species, its almost impossible to cut a cherry or black locust open without finding some of those black rotted out ant sections

Pic is too small. I'd also like to see the bark and the end grain.

First guess would be Tulip, as already mentioned.

Great firestarter wood.

All the wood was downed from Huricane Irene in late August so it hasn't been sitting around too long. I believe the piece on the right may have come from the same tree but not certain. It had the olive green center like the others.

No guess here because it IS poplar

I must have missed that bark picture. I know I'm late to the party, but I'll also say yellow poplar (tuliptree).

tulip no doubt

Thanks again for your input fellas. By "poplar" you mean, white polar, right? I've been splitting some yellow poplar or Tulip and the grain looks completely different from this wood. The inside looks very yellow and doesn't split quite as easily as this wood but I wouldn't say that it's hard to split either. The biggest difference with this wood(Poplar, as some have said) and yellow poplar is the weight. The yellow poplar feels like it weighs 25% more then the wood with the light green center.
I'm no expert but trying to learn as much as I can as I process this stuff.

 

[1harlowr]

Never cut up white poplar so I don't know what that looks like. This IS tulip aka yellow poplar.

yellow paplar take it to the bank!
