Not much to go on here, and this round does not have many pimples as I call them, maybe once thorns ? This wood is very hard, it doesn't
always split, sometimes it explodes into two pieces..

Here it is very dry, anyone....

Might be poplar, in which case I’d not even waste the time to split it.
 
Thanks for the reply, I burned some it was not the best but not bad either. Why is poplar bad..

Not sure it is poplar, but if it is, poplar tends to vaporize quickly. Not worth much, in terms of actual heating.
 
This burned for quite some time, not fast at all, I did need to add more to keep the fire going good, not great but not bad, not much for coals thou. not like my honey locust..

Might be elm, then. Was the flame more blue/green than other woods? Was it super-stringy when split?
 
I’d guess that it’s elm.
 
On second viewing, the growth rings are too large for locust. I don't know.
