Hi gang. Anybody know what this wood could be? It blew down in the blizzard in January in a guy's yard.
Thanks in advance, Bob

I'll give it a shot. When ever I see red in the middle I tend towards Box Alder.
I agree with boxelder but the third pic looks like cottonwood bark to me.
If you can find a long straight piece it makes an excellent battering ram once dry since it becomes lighter yet stays pretty tough. With the ash like bark 10 or 12 guys can get a good grip on it run and demolish a castle gate or door easily and the smell of the bruised box elder end will easily take down anyone inside
CTYank, I'm believing you're right! Just got done splitting some of this stuff and it's definately better firewood than some on here tend to think it is! Tight grain and is harder than some have implied here! Has that sharp sound when you knock two pieces together that only comes from hard species wood. I'm going to Google Norway Maple while I wait for it to cool off some. I bet it is....Much of it sure looks like norway maple to me.
Relative to boxelder, odorless and much higher density. Much better stuff.
