Roble beech?

Or a similar Nothofagus. You miight be able to narrow it down if you know where it came from, e.g. https://www.brc.ac.uk/plantatlas/plant/nothofagus-obliqua

Yes been chatting with Steve and he thinking on the same lines. Going through my handbook of hardwoods which only describes the wood and not the tree   Acer saccharum fits pretty well.

Steve is going for acer platanoides

I'm just happy it's not pop whatever it is

yep, i certainly am.

 

i've seen some acer saccharum from a UK grown tree and it looked a bit different to that. the rings were much more pronounced.

Think you have nailed it as the bark looks right unlike the bark on every other acer I looked up
