What do I have here?

The bark on some of the rounds looks like hickory. The inside color of the splits looks like some of the hickory we have. Everyonce in a while I'll get some that hand splits that clean, but usually it can be a bit stringy...

 

Could be elm. It's been a while since I've seen any with bark on it.

 

Elm wif no bark is good

 

Looks like mostly Elm with some Ash.

 

I thought elm myself.

 

pulled this pic that look very similar.

 

Is that elm?

 

That's what Google says.

 

Has to be...its on the internet

 

I'm buying into the elm theory now... question is, what kind? The American elm around here has more of a silvery bark, but I know growing conditions play a big role there.

 

The download said red elm bark.

 

That would make sense considering your elm with the bark still attached looks like it split reasonably well.

 

Yeah, split ok with the axe I grabbed.

 

I saw that after I posted the pics.. safety 1st

 

This was red elm a scrounged a couple years ago. Roadside urban removal fresh cut.
An empty truck is a plus when you score wood by accident.

 

Check out the white rings under the bark of the end grain pic. It's American Elm.

 

That tree had a reasonably long life then, as far as American Elm goes. Around here (untreated) they barely get past 12” DBH before the Dutch Elm disease gets them.

 

The rounds in the first three pics are Hemlock. The one with the axe in it looks like ash as others have said

 

That's what I thought too, but I'm no ID pro.
