Any ideas what this wood is?

Some sort of maple

 

Sticking your neck out there!

Looks like Rowan is the favourite then. Given the other Rowans in the area, I'm happy with that. Many thanks for your help.

Steve - I've got it all cut into 10" ish lengths for splitting (never burned Rowan before, so no idea what it's like). I'd happily drop a load round if you were nearby.

I'm with you mountain man.

I'm burning a couple of tonnes of rowan at present. Lovely firewood. Also turned a bit and has a nice dark heartwood.

why does everyone want to burn rowan, it's a gorgeous timber...

 

if anyone fells a good sized one i'd be interested if it's near me.

[Bob The Dog]

Glad to hear it burns well. Looking forward to winter already!!

A mature koelreuteria paniculata?

[Kveldssanger]

Surely it cannot be a rowan as it doesn't have the correct leaf structure. A K. paniculata is not possible as again not the right leaf structure (not pinnate).

 

It could well be a Sorbus of some sort, though it cannot be a rowan (unless rowans also can have non-pinnately arranged leaves).
