Got some of this wood last year. Very dense and burns well. It is "oxidized" reddish mahogany on the outside. When I sawed off an end of a split that was too long the other day, I was very surprised to find the the inside was was yellow.

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.
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.
