Isn’t that just an old oak?

Not sure I’m cutting red oak next to it and bark is different

Doesn't look like oak bark to me. Tough to tell when dry like that. Looks like some elm. Split a piece and post the pic.

my first impression is oak. I can't quite make out if the leaves in the pic are oak or not, though. They look like they are attached to the wood.

mulberry going by the small branches growing out of it in the top right and the small dry branch at the bottom. second guess is hedge.

Are you currently cutting it up? Like said before. Split one pc. could tell you a lot

didnt see that second picture! I just split a cord of mulberry and that looks an awful lot like it. especially that smaller limb

The mulberry I have split up had much more yellow heartwood than these pics

when i split me mulberry it was almost orange, now its deep red after aging a bit.

it is mulberry, it gets dark like that after it is exposed to air for a pretty short amount of time. The bark is a dead ringer as well as the color.

Elm

I’ll get over there later this week. I’m thinking mulberry been years since I’ve cut . I’ll post pic ASAP thanks

I first thought elm from the bark alone but when I saw the end grains I thought mulberry. Give it a fresh cut or split. If it's bright yellow, it's mulberry for sure.

Red elm or willow?

A fresh split and end grain would help.

What does it smell like?

Dark color on the end looks like Mulberry to me. Bark is a perfect match, too. Like others have said....get into fresh wood and it will be a yellow color.

Another vote for mulberry.

This thread reminds me of the story of the blind man touching an elephant. Need more info and better pics.

Siberian elm, worst crap i have ever burned. i see the tell tale ,dead rotten limb wood laying there. it burns like rotten wood and leaves a ton of ash behind. I cut a huge live one down and split it up, have burned about half. I told the neighbor he can use the rest in his firepit.

Ill second the Siberian elm. not too bad to split compared to its american cousin but really light and fast burning when dry
