i just got home from getting a really big truckload of wood , a guy cut down the tree , and it was all limbed , the trunk is all that was left .he said it was a maple , just doesn't look like it to me , all the bark fell off. i know its heavy as hell tho , each piece was about 20-22" across by 16" cuts , and had to be about 90-`100 lbs each , i got about 15 pieces of it .

Yee Haw! Bark off! split it, stack it, cover it, let it sit for a year or two.
Nothing better. You're gonna love it.
 
the ms361 with a 20" bar really came in handy for this ! :) all we had to do was cut up the main trunk and we could take it , does it look like maple to you ? its hard to tell for me with no bark really on it other than that little piece

It looks too yellow for elm. JMHO
 
I'd go with elm also...
 
Here is 2 leaves stuck to the bark , and I'm guessing this little sucker is what killed the tree

That right there is elm
 
I fully agree on the elm. If you think that is stringy, cut one sometime that is not dead and split right away. It gives a whole new meaning to stringy. ;)
