Hoping someone could help me identify this. Scored some free logs from a tree company and had some of this mixed in with Oak and Maple. I'm thinking Tamarack..

It could be Spruce. I've been cutting up quite a bit of Blue Spruce lately, and the bark has that red hue like yours. It is called Blue Spruce because the needles are greenish-blue (?), so not based on bark color. Where I live (Idaho) Spruce is given away as seedlings on Arbor day (tree day).
So, it is found all over my area although it isn't native. It is a light wood - even lighter than the pines here (Ponderosa & Lodgepole). It will make a nice combo burning wood with heavier woods like Oak or Sugar Maple.
