Wood ID please

[SS396driver]

I've been gathering wood and came across some standing dead . No bark nothing to ID it . But it's hard as a rock and doesn't split at all with the Fisker's. I had to use the timber wolf gas splitter felt kinda wimpy needing to use it on such small rounds . The wood splits but very reluctantly with strings all over

Might be some type of elm.

It burns nice and hot too

Rock elm is my guess.

BTW, you don't live in Pamelia do you? Along Rt 37? Probably lots of NY residents have classic Studebakers, but that's where I've seen vehicles like yours.

That’s American elm. Rock elm is rare and super heavy.

I'm in on the Elm bandwagon.

Elm Fur Sur... Got a load in right now. At 17hrs on this load. Needless to say. I like it

Black gum possibly
But most likely elm

Elm for sure. I like when I find them dead standing. They're pretty dry and can burn real soon.

Got some in the stove right now. Good stuff.

Elm. I hate splitting Elm.

Before I put the new motor on the splitter, I would saw down through the end of the round maybe half way, then hit it with the maul. almost always split then. If it was a big round, I might make several cuts, like a pie.
