Hi, I am new here, started burning Nov 2011 and I have been reading here on Hearth.com since Oct 2011. I have building my wood supply Red Oak, Elm, White Ash, and White Pine. This wood I do not know what it is. Can you please help out.
Wood ID please

Does it have a piney scent? Bark says conifer of some sort but the color of the heartwood has me guessing....

Possibly a red elm, but not mulberry. I just said the bark LOOKED like a conifer with the reddish under-layer. The wood looks nothing like a pine or spruce, if their is no piney smell that rules out pine for sure. I'm saying red elm.

It split a little stringy, not too bad. I did a search on Red Elm and found this picture. It looks like Thistle hit it on the nose. Thanks

The bark I've seen here looks a little less coarse, but the wood sure looks like Reddus Elmus. I've only cut dead wood though, so it's slightly lighter in color. Burns well. 
BTW, welcome Lance.
Did you get a good bit of that wood? Doesn't look like a big tree, which isn't surprising. They only get to twelve inches or so here before Dutch Elm Disease gets 'em.
