Before I stack this, I better check what it is. The tree originally had large oval leaves, the bark see picture had a spongy white inner part, splits easy, and rounds/splits are very light. Thx

The white sap wood and bark leans me towards cherry
 
looks like it was a big cherry as well.
Would have been some primo veneer or board lumber.
 
Smell it lol. If if has a nice lung biting 'cough syrup' aroma,most likely Black Cherry.Plus the 'burnt potato chip' appearance of the scaly bark.
 
Did the leaf look like this? (Cherry)

Bas- it was large. Pulled over, sign said free, couldn't help myself.

Thistle- robutussin, yes, smells like the cough syrup I took earlier, getting over a cold, but the work still needs to get done.

BW- yes, but minus the ridges on the leaf, (if I remember correctly) and the leaf was that shape, but around 5"-8" long.
 
I'll say cherry.
 
The bark looks like cherry, but I don't think the wood does, and cherry has small leaves. Maybe Catalpa is the right answer.
 
Its def not catalpa, just googled it, leaves don't look like one. I do think it is a cherry. Maybe black? I have the virginia tech tree id app. Great app, but it has a gazillion trees on it, I get faster results here.
 
Would not think the rounds or splits could be considered light if it was cherry.

Red Elm is a possibility. But really hard to id from that photo alone.
