White ash guaranteed.The barks not right for Black walnut. But need some better pics for a clearier identification.
That's what I thought. Red isn't as stringy as American Elm, but those splits look clean as a whistle.Bark looks a little like Elm but the split does not look stringy enough for that.
not sure on difficulty as i have a splitter, but tends to split cleanly.

The guy mentioned leaves having cigar shaped buds in fall on leaves. Possibly catalpa?
If so, what I'm seeing is mediocre BTU ratings...about 16 M BTU/cord. If you have a lot of room to stack wood, you could go ahead and grab it for starter or shoulder season wood. Hard to go overnight on that if you have a smaller firebox. It'll probably dry fast, if you'll be burning it next Winter. The two loads you've already got is probably 2/3 cord at least.+1
Bark and wood looks like catalpa I cut here.
Even though it's nearly black? If it was Walnut, there would be walnuts all over the ground and the bark isn't right. Elm would smell funny and would be very stringy. Catalpa, on the other hand, would look just like what you have!White ash guaranteed.
