Guessing just off of the leaves, but it looks like a hickory to me.
Is it heavy or really light weight?

 Yes, I do my friend or Pecan...Any hulls in the area from a bigger tree...Ash looks similar though...? If I could only smell them leaves I could tell you...Hickory puts off a strong perfume when you crush the leaves...

If the leaf is compound...all of the little leaflets are attached well... and the limbs are alternate, being nearly impossible to bend until they break...it's likely hickory, but if the leaves are compound the branches are also opposite, like the leaves... it's likely ash.

My first thought was ash.   Ash also has compound leaves.

Yes, ash leaves are also compound and opposite,  but the terminal leaflet on an ash is SMALLER than the other  leafets.


Terminal  leaflet on  hickory is bigger than other  leaflets. There are very many kinds of hickory, of which pecans are a member.
