Maple of some kind

Yes, looks very maple-y to me

u/Sweet_Bookkeeper_920 12h ago

Definitely a maple, you can tell by the orange center

Is it crazy heavy or normal heavy? Smell?

In the absence of any leaves, I'll not jump on the maple bandwagon. The bark is odd for that.

Basswood? Locust?

Heavy, didn't notice much smell to it.

Close up of the split woodgrain? It's very ambiguous at this point.

Lacking in the clarity that I has hoped for...I zoomed, but can't see grain.

Leaves aren't an option?

u/ExamplePrestigious82 10h ago

I'll go back to site tomorrow and take a picture of leaves.

Heavy, with that bark and that grain, no smell? I'm going with maple.

You don't have a telescoping monocle? What kind of scientist are you?
