Parents’ neighbor felled a couple trees and he doesn’t burn wood, so free for me. Got a bunch of maple rounds and what looks like some kind of fruit tree but I have no clue what kind. He said he thought it was wild cherry, but the bark doesn’t look right to me. Whatever it was, the woodpeckers loved it. Split a couple open (see pictures) and it looks similar to the crabapple I have in the yard, but I thought folks here might have a better idea.

Safest way is call it fruitwood. Could be apple, peach pear. If you want to try smoking, its usually good wood, otherwise its BTUs

Reminds me of apple the way the suckers look.
 
late arrival,
+1 for apple (wood color and bark with sapsucker pecks).
 
I'm guessing apple or crabapple.
 
+1 for apple.

Looks just like the apple tree I cut and split last winter.
