Is this Black Cherry or what?

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.

That is Black Cherry.

Thanks. It's 3' diameter at the base so fun cutting.

This is cherry... good burning... dries quick.. so split on the larger side ..

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.
