I recently worked out a deal with a local tree service to drop wood at my place. Got 4 beautiful loads of ash and then a load of sycamore (the worst splitting wood in the history of the world IMO!). Told him I really only wanted true hardwoods and there would be no hard feelings if he couldn't accommodate that request since I know he has a business to run. Getting mostly ash with some cherry and maple (hard and soft).
The last load had some of this in it:

Bark looks like pine but obviously it's not. Dark heart wood. Smells like manure when freshly cut. Splits relatively easily (on a SuperSplit).
I think I have an idea but am looking for confirmation.
