What wood is this???

[Adrian Anguiano]

First time cutting wet wood... Got it off a curb, and sliced it. Can anyone tell me what wood this is?

I'm going with ash to start, but can you post a photo of the bark?

Definitely not ash, I voted maple, guessing soft red maple without seeing the bark.

[Reed Gray]

My first guess is ash as well. Some center rot and a bit of color. Need to see the bark please.

I voted pecan, mostly a guess. Any more pictures?

Based on the end grain, I would almost say hickory, although it does look very maple like at first glance. Ash stinks when you cut it, enough that you probably would have mentioned it.

[John Keeton]

Those are silver or red maple leaves I believe, though the focus is way off. The tree appears to be a maple tree, as well.

[Chuck Darney]

Of the trees listed only the ash and maple would have the opposite branching shown in the first picture. If the leaves are from the same tree I would have to agree that it's a silver maple.

[Adrian Anguiano]

Its probably silver maple then, I called my friend and he says there are many silver maples in that neighborhood.

Thanks Sawmill CSI!

Its trash! Fortunately for you, I am in Fort Worth and can help you dispose of it.

I keep an eye out for trees getting cut down and all I can seem to find are black poplar and various oaks. Wish I could find someone cutting down a nice pecan, hickory, walnut or maple tree.

The sapwood certainly looks like red maple as does what little bit of bark you can see. Overall it looks a lot like pecan but I think even from that angle you'd be able to see the thick furrowed bark of pee-can. As to the leaves, red maple are not as extremely lobed as the one in the foreground appears to be. So, I guess I'd go with silver leaf also.

[John Coloccia]

After seeing the tree, it's almost certainly maple. IMHO, looks like there's a lot of tearing on the heartwood. Be careful when you turn it

The thin bark almost nails it as a maple and the leaf shape is surely Silver maple if these are correct pictures

[Ryan Baker]

Definitely looks like silver maple to me.
