    Good score - definitely some cherry, possibly ash/hickory, and the smooth looking stuff in the back could be Mulberry.
    It's all firewood

    The bark in the second pic sure looks like mulberry, will know for sure once you split a piece.

    Almost looks like a "throwout" pile! NY, you must be part bloodhound! (woodhound?)

    You'll know it's mulberry if it turns from yellow to dark brown as it dries. I've tossed a few smaller splits in the stove and it's very sparky but burns hot and long. Great stuff.
