Need help to identify some firewood I got for free.

[Whitespider]

Have you tried splittin' it yet??
Just guessin', but I'm leanin' on Slippery Elm... aka, Red Elm.
If it is Red Elm, it's damn good firewood.

I have to say Siberian elm. Fair firewood... depending on who you ask. It is very heavy when wet.

Looks a lot like some Honey Locust I cut last year. Have any split open?

 

[Whitespider]

I have to say Siberian elm.

No way.
The dark(er) center is too large... the dark center of Siberian is, at best, only half the log diameter.
And the bark is wrong for Siberian...

I am not sure, but I still think it could be Siberian. Here is a picture of some from my place and it matches pretty good.

+1 Red mulberry

You got me.
But it doesn't look like Red Oak.
Could be Walnut, has similar bark and colour of Walnut.
I know this may sound weird, but sometimes I can tell by the cut smell.
Red Oak has distinct odour as does Maple, Cherry, Walnut...etc.
Smell it.....LOL

A stick or twig would help the ID process.

Looks like Sophora japonica for me. It is usually a planted in avenues or parks. I have burnt quite some of it.

Here is a vid where I am cutting it.

...still think it could be Siberian. Here is a picture of some from my place and it matches pretty good.

But... look again...
The OP's picture ain't showing the thick bark... like your picture.
The OP's picture ain't showing the wider growth rings... like your picture.
The OP's picture ain't showing the dark(er) center that gradually lightens as it extends out... like your picture.

The OP's picture shows thin(ish) bark with flattened tops on the ridges, evenly spaced and tight(er) growth rings, and a uniform color (darkness, or shade) from center to sap wood. I'm still leanin' heavy on Slippery (Red) Elm... leanin' heavy.

I'm not sure what it is. What really throws me is the bark on the lower right rounds is so much different than the top left. Yet by the end grain definitely the same tree.

1st pic is mullberry.all from the same limb. the darker ones were cut about a month ago. the yellow looking cut today.2nd pic is bark. and 3rd is the tree they all came from. note how the bark is rougher on the trunk than the bark on the limb wood

It'll really help when they come out with the new scratch&sniff phone and computer screens.
