It kinda looks more like red elm in those pictures, that split piece ain't very string though unless it's a real small one. Bark still looks thick to me too.
Are we sure it's elm??Elm... any elm... don't split like this...
It's Elm. Only some of the smaller straight rounds split like this - a sharp wedge on the SuperSplit helps too. I still need a hatchet to release strings on larger rounds most of the time.

I yield, it's definitely not American elm seeing it still has color higher up and splits like that.

Most of the pictures are not elm but what it is who knows.
Growing in the city or in a forest?
To me a few pictures look like different species.
Was this more than 1 tree?
In the 3 pictures #1 elm something and looks like American elm, the other 2?

From 30+ acres of ravine land. All I'm allowed to cut is dead or dying trees so 95% of what I cut is Elm. Other stuff in the area is box elder, maple, butternut, black cherry, coffeetree, hickory, cottonwood, and just 1/4mile down the road a bunch of white oak. If it's not elm what could it be?
