Men and women, is this a white ash? 20140313_142242.jpg20140313_142249.jpg

Added:

just dropped this standing dead as well. Bark is completely gone and it's hard as a rock! I'm posting pics of it and the live one just like it that's right beside it

Chestnut oak?
 
Uh, what if the "women folk" want to answer or give a guess? ;) :)
 
has the deep bark of a cotton wood
 
Looks like the mature truck of a Locust Tree. Do the new braches or shoots have thorns on em?

If it is what I think, they're a real "weed tree" up here. Cut em and they'll send roots 20 to 40 feet out and up pops a little one. Grow a couple inches a day. Ruin a perfectly nice lawn.

Pretty strong if solo rooted, but weak if it springs off from a cut stump.

That's my guess!
 
Tough call between poplar and Black locust
 
I don't know as I can say for sure what kind of tree that is......Is the picture of the split from the same tree as the bark? The split looks like poplar.

I will say that I would be wary of all those holes. That typically indicates a woodpecker was on that tree chasing something. Usually termites or ants. that could well be why it is dead.
 
I would say it's Hickory.
 
The new pictures look totally different.....
 
Rule out locust, ain't that and that stuffs hard to split. Poplar usually looks different than those splits and even tho it's a softer wood, it'd be tough to get that fiskars through too. Are the rounds heavy and the bark hard to break? If so than hickorys my guess. I'm no expert for trees down there tho

Yea. I think it's hickory. The fiskers and maul just bounces off
 
I agree with the cottonwood vote. The other tree looks like elm.
