my friend gave me a truckload of this wood.....seasoned undercover for about 3 years.....any thoughts? he said holly but that doesn't look right? maybe some kind of cherry or birch based on the bark? i live in seattle but it was his neighbors tree from a small city lot so it could be anything not necessarily native to the region! it is not light like cedar but not oak heavy...

Show us a freshly cut end and an newly opened split.
I would lean towards a nut or fuit tree of some sort.
 
Also the bark looks similar to some very dry popple but I don't think it is that.
 
It does look like Holly.
 
The bark looks a little closer to grey birch than apple but the wood looks more like that from a fruit tree. Maybe a pear?
