Any ideas on what this is? Huge tree came down during March storms in the Northeast.
It was a widowmaker but the widow was not made.

Thanks. It's 3' diameter at the base so fun cutting.
 
I've become an oak and beech snob but I like cherry, too.
 
Nice cherry, can burn in 9 months.
 
I feel bad burning such nice wood. Makes nice furniture.
