Another Wood ID

[Fechmup]

Hey Everyone,
I initially thought this was Poplar, and was going to put it aside, until the farmer down the road stopped by. He swears up and down that it isn't Poplar - and that I should burn it next year. It was standing dead, and where I cut it, there were Red Oaks, White Oaks, Gum, Beech, and Hollies. Thanks in advance.

soft/silver maple without a doubt.

The two upright pieces look kind of dark for Silver maple, but the bark looks right. Maybe it's just bad lighting.

its maple but not silver

Yep! That Bark Is A Dead Giveaway!

Swamp maple?

The Bark says silver maple.
Color isn't right though.

Maybe bieng standing dead has something to do with the orangish hue?

Stay safe!

:agree2:

I havn't seen alot of punky maple like that though. I'd split that crap out and toss it, but it may be too much work with a maul....

does that change how many points each of our votes are worth ? how's that work anyway ?

do you have any other pictures of bark? the color kinda looks like cherry, but the bark doesn't say that, and i'm not sure how much cherry you have down there..... i think it is a maple species. any idea how long it's been standing dead? Hi Gus!!

Looks like maple. If it is really light when dried, almost not worth burning.

Silver/river maple gets my vote.
