Elm maybe.

They look real fresh cut too... If it's Elm, the color of that heartwood will lighten quite a bit in a couple days... I'm gonna hold out on this one for a while... Maybe it's me... Maybe it's the phone... But the pics look a little jacked up for some reason... Like the split don't look like the rounds...:msp_confused:

Splits came from the same wood, I did take the pics of the rounds with the flash on as it was hours later. Bout dark. I'm thinking you are right about it bein elm. Maybe the feller that owns the tree company that cut it down does not know the difference between Elm and Locust:msp_sneaky: or he jus wanted it hauled off??? Naw... He wouldn't do that to me....:hmm3grin2orange: First tim I've had dealings with him. Hate for it to be a choice of him not knowin his job, or him bein sneeky:msp_mad:

Well if it is locust the wood will be definitely yellow and pics sometimes distort color.Is the wood yellow? I see Elm!

+1 on "the split don't look like the rounds." The split looks like black cherry to me; the rounds do not.

looks the same to me turn the light up on your screen.

Elm maybe.

This coming from the guy that thought white oak was walnut, and also tries to convince people not to burn walnut.

I'm going to go with locust since I have the same tree here. Elm is a MFer to split by hand and my locust splits nicely a little stringy but nicely.

listen to that crap you say I dont know what Im doing i say everybody post what they know for a fact and me and you have a test of skills!

I think it is very likely Red Elm, although I usually cut it long after it has died. The bark is very Elm-like, and the color is more red than locust yellow.

Here's one... Probably too easy...

And with the sexiest saw made stuck in it...

I've got a lot of locust. It isnt anything like any locust I've had. Go back a few posts and compare to the black locust I had a while back... Not at all alike. I did some searching and found Siberian Elm that looks exactly like what I have. It is already lightening up in only one day like someone else said it would. I'll post some more pics if you like. But I'm 100% sure it's elm. Don't care I'll burn it next year or two anyway.

By the way, it's not yellow, it's more reddish.

Maybe even brownish? Soon to be tan??? I think I got a pic of the stuff in it's larger form...
