Maybe Norway maple? Not sure though 🤔

I think that's too dark heartwood for any maple? (At least that I've seen.)

 

[MRD1985]

The bark looks a lot like a mature Norway maple, at least to me. The smaller ones I have cut had some darker heartwood, but didn’t cover as much as the tree pictured. The heartwood color is what’s throwing me off

 

[stoveliker]

Yes, me too.
Maybe @CincyBurner knows

Good to know, haven’t come across one before. Looks like elm could be very similar ?

 

[CincyBurner]

Few North American tree species have yellow/ orange wood.
Mulberry is common "weed" tree establishing itself in disturbed areas. It's common in urban areas.
It's solid wood for heating 25.7 M Btus/ cd, but will spark & pop.

Mulberry, not Norway

I have not split mulberry in a while. I think is was pretty stringy. Yes and i do remember it throwing lots of sparks also.

 

[MRD1985]

From what I’ve read splits similar to oak? Elm is very stringy

Looks like there are some leaves. Can't make out.
