No replies yet? The middle (split) pic looks like mulberry to me. I have a face cord I can't wait to burn this year. It will be my first time burning it.

Doesn't look like mulberry to me. Looks like a kind of Hickory. Wait for more responses.

Looks more like a Norway Maple to me.

Split like some Maple I have, wedge of splitter half an inch in and done clean and strait split at 40% moisture and fairly light weight

Doesn't look like norway to me.

Doesn't look like norway to me.

Comparing it to a recent pic of a Norway score (that I still have on my trailer) - I think you are correct. The end grain is not similar. The bark on the OP's first pic is pretty close to an adult norway, but now I am doubting that it is a Norway.

You could be on to something with those giant growth rings.

Looks like something very light weight.

Is it all the same tree? The split with the orange heartwood looks like Callery Pear to me.

I think so the rounds were rather unique looking bark, I will take a closer look in the AM

If you saw or split a piece of that stuff and it has a peculiar sweet kind of chemical smell to it, if it's light weight stuff, if the leaves are really large....

well, I guarantee that's catalpa in those pics, it always leaves the rough look when I saw through it, it's not the best firewood, but it turns great bowls, and it's fairly rot resistant.
