It looks like Mulberry to me. I think the barks on the two pics in this thread match pretty well. The dark orange color of the wood that has been exposed a long time and the yellow color of the fresh cut are characteristic of mulberry. I think we're looking at White Mulberry. There are other types, but White Mulberry is the largest and most common mulberry.

I'm not saying that isn't mulberry, but mulberry isn't too common and it seems like almost every wood id post gets a mulberry vote.

It is very common here in PA. It was brought in many years ago for the silk industry. It's kind of like a weed here...
There is a lot of mulberry around here. Not sure why it was planted. We are too cold for producing silk.

The largest native Mulberry in the US is Morus Rubra
the Red Mulberry,native to over 30 states from southern Minnesota to New York,south from east Texas to Florida.Commonly found in urban settings,yards,fence rows,old fields,woodland edges,along creeks & streams,prefers moist well drained upland locations for best growth & size.Can get 50-60ft tall,2'-3' diameter if allowed.Also isnt self-pollinating,the trees are either male or female.I have 2 large ones in backyard,they've never born fruit in over 20 yrs I've lived here.Did have 2 others,1 male,1 female medium sized that I cut down in 2007 & last April.
