Maybe Elm. Have you tries splitting any yet? Some looks kinda punky.
I haven’t given him the ok to drop it off . If he delivers he sends pictures for me to say yes or no . If it’s elm I’ll pass
One piece on the top looks like it split cleanly. I'm thinking it may be basswood. Bark slips off in sheets, wood is bright white when first exposed then turns yellow quickly, easy to split and light weight. Pretty low on the Btu charts, but delivered for free not bad if you need shoulder season wood.
I don’t think I’ll take the wood .

Looks like basswood.
That's all I can think of . Why don't the guy that cut it know what it is?
Not sure he’s been good up until this load of wood
Basswood, more than likely. Burns fast, it's a light wood, works good for outdoor stuff.

Been so long since I cut a basswood I don't recognize it. But I do remember that its the only wood when burned in my stove that I could tell by the smell of the smoke outdoors what was burning. The smoke has a very distinctive odor
