Don't have a clue what this is.... The two big pieces by the axe the other stuff is oak and pecan I had a good haul today
Yup!, nice wood and great for smoking! Grizzly Adam hooked me up with a couple pieces once for smoking, Been on the hunt for it ever since!
No way is that scaly thing a mulberry. This is a mulberry that I cut in my back yard after eating its fruit for several years. I took the picture to show some noodling but you can easily see the bark is not at all like in that picture posted by the OP. To me, his picture looks like some kind of evergreen bark, like maybe some spruce.
The first two pics make me think it looks like Walnut, with the dark color inside with a light wood ring on the outside, potato chip bark. BUT, the rest do not look like it at all....
I am thinking Prunus serotina, wild black cherry. This is a picture of a mature tree's bark I found on the internet. This is a more complete description of it. Black Cherry (Prunus serotina)
