Hey Guys,
Some construction on my property yielded about 8 logs in a stack already felled and limbed. As I didn't see their structure or leaves, and they aren't my stand-by types here, I need some help. These have different bark, grain, and splitting characteristics than the other stuff here.
90% of what I am working with is ash, and then some black walnut, american elm, and black cherry that were standing dead or blow downs. There are also a lot of red oak, tulip poplar, and sugar maples here that are healthy and I have not cut yet. There are a few of each beech, sycamore, redbud, and some sort of magnolia also on the property, but those are also easy to ID and doubtful for this wood.
The top picture looks like elm but splits easy and is not stringy. Tulip Poplar? Maple?
Clueless on the type on the 2nd and 3rd pictures. Very hard to split, not stringy, no heartwood/sapwood difference.
Last picture with the darker wood is easy to split but stringy like an elm. Perhaps hickory? Bark almost looks like a white pine. Everything is frozen so no smells.
Thanks for your help!

Clueless on the solid colored, boxy shaped wood. That stuff does not want to split at all either.
The darker wood is very stringy like a hickory or elm.
