Yes sir! Next time I'll try to remember that. Thankyou.Looks like hickory.
Next time you want a tree I.D. take a few leaf photos, too.
I was really hoping it was Hickory. Thanks for the info though.I think it might be sweet gum. there are a few leaves in there and the bark looks right. It is also white wood.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll get it split and it will be destined for a bon fire in the distant future.It is sweet gum!
I didn't see the leaves.
Sweet gum Burns fine. You probably won't split it by hand though.
It will give it a good workout. It's hardwood. I would burn it inside after it dries. IMOHa. I've got a log splitter
I've got a wood stove in my shop. I'm sure it will eat it's fare share.It will give it a good workout. It's hardwood. I would burn it inside after it dries. IMO
When my grandma was still here I would go visit. On the way I picked up her groceries. I would mow her grass and anything else that needed done. One day she had about two pickup loads of wood that needed to be split. This was very important to her since it was the only heat she had. That was my introduction to splitting sweet gum by hand using a sledge and steel wedges. Twenty years later, she has since gone, and my back still hurts but not as much as my heart missing that crazy old coot, and her fried chicken.
That next one is hickory.
Yes the leaf and fruit (nuts , seeds, pods, etc) should tell you all you need to know about species of tree.Looks like hickory.
