I just got home after a month of travel and found this lying in the yard next door. I'm wondering if any of you might be able to identify it. I'm thinking it is a hard wood since the limbs are bare.
I work in a sawmill for almost 30 years as the lumber inspector and from what I am able to see, it appears to be pig hickory. The top pic shows brown spots in the end of the wood piece and those are bird pecks which is typical in hickory. Also the stringy type bark in pic 2 is common on pig hickory
