Nice yea that ain't what I got barks even different. I burned some noodles of it today and it smelled amazing I am thinking its a hickory. The split wood itself has a nice smokey aroma and the shape of the tree itself with a short wide trunk and only a few large outreaching limbs kinda suggest it too. So I fell a much larger one of the same kinda trees yesterday over 50in across at the ground and here what she be looking like. Pics don't justify it but ill have more soonlyHere is some partly seasoned Kansas mulberry, as well as one in my yard. The tree itself will sucker at every cut. Note the very tight end grain.

Dose a freshly split piece it smell like liquid smokeThats Slippery Elm, {Chinese Elm}
Definitely not. I cut alot of that and while there where plenty of the little ******* around to poke me this wood is much different. Lots of color, more broken up textured barkHow about black locust?
NoHow about black locust?
It's not either one, Chinese and Slippery aren't the same.Thats Slippery Elm, {Chinese Elm}
That isn't ironwood. I'll try and take a pic of the next ironwood log I come across when I am burning. That also would be super huge for an ironwood.Those are ironwood. I am not sure what iron wood looks like inside. It’s been YEARS since the one ironwood I know I cut.
But I know elm doesn’t have a dark brown core.
Unless maybe it had a virus...
But then you would know because it would be wearing a mask ...
