White ash
Norway Maple. Bark looks very similar to White Ash but Ash will rot before it spalts like the picture of what you have.
No worries, Ain't the first time I've been wrong and certainly won't be the last..........
I'm still going with Norway Maple.
I'd lean towards Norway Maple too. I see no pores in the end grain.
Ash is kind of odd. I have seen dead stand standing trees and even fallen logs off the ground last for 15 years if the borer didn't kill them. And yes they will get spalted. The borer does something to them and they will rot in about 3 years. Also depends if the tree grew on the north side or south side of a mountain/ hill. North trees grow slower and are tighter grained.
Pignut Hickory?
Pictures are nice, but I think Unc could help out a bit more. Where did this log come from, and what were the trees around it?
Supporting details are important!
BTW: looks "ashy" to me, but I don't have the confidence to call it on that log. I only do that for bark on the logs still attached to the rest of the tree.

Wish I knew, but you now know as much as I do.
I’m leaning towards maple, for it cuts a little easier than ash.

Are there any branch removal scars present on the log? Can we at least establish that it has opposite or alternate branching?
(Of course, maple and ash are both opposite, but that might rule out a few choices)

WHAT"S IT TASTE LIKE ??? Bitter vs Blasiegh Notice This query came from a "TERMITE"
It’ll be a couple days before I get back to the mill, but I’ll try and remember to check.
I am not familiar with "Norway Ash but I would think th bark says ASH.
Cottonwood?
we have a bunch around here that look close to that.
except for the spalting

It is a diffuse porous wood, which eliminates ash. Norway maple.
Definitely an ash i say. If not white i would think green. Been cutting them for the last 2 weeks straight. Norway maple bark isnt as thick as this looks for a log of its diameter. Plus the bark looks more tan and stringy in the under layers. Cant be too old of a log if that bark hasnt started to peel at all so i would think it was green when it was cut. Just my 2 cents.
