No...I dont think so. Its a little over the top for Ash bark. There are some people here who have posted similar, however, and insisted it was Ash.
You have Tulip poplar, Big tooth Aspen, Sassafras, Cottonwood, and Chestnut Oak with BIG blocky bark.
Not really alot of trees with that characteristic but they are all very similar.

Tulip poplar by the way is not even remotely related to poplar. Like the Aspen poplars. Not even cousins.
Is this a scrounge or a cut down?
Nice stacks by the way.

I just did a quick search, and I guess I didn't realize how similar (at first glance) ash bark is to tulip poplar.
The wood between Tulip and Ash are VERY different. Ash has lots of beautiful grain pattern and tulip is very fine with no patterns.
Although I would stack them together in the drying racks.
Your pics are fuzzy on my smart phone, hard to tell.
But, yeah, look for signs of the bugs/pests that only eat that wood.
The D shaped holes in the bark. I didnt see any.
Thats how I can tell Elm alot.
