Yellow Stringy Wood?

[lumbering on]

Picked up some curbside wood.

The fiskars is bouncing off the surface,
inside is yellow and stringy,

any thoughts on what it is?

Will it dry in 2 yrs or 3?

will get pics tomorrow.

my pin oak and sweet gum match that description, but pics will probably confirm it to be something completely different.

Pics.

Bright yellow when freshly cut usually means black locust around here.
Stringy usually means elm or hickory that's been sitting around.
Could be something else, too. Need pics.

Elm is 1st thing that comes to mind.

Is the heartwood a different color? Is it all the same color?

Yellow could be Mulberry, BL or Hedge. Hedge is the brightest yellow. Need bark and split pics to be sure, though.

we need PICS.......then we'll confirm what it is!

I think I had some tulip that was yellow inside...

Usually splits clean not stringy, though.

Yellow and stringy. Is there such a species called Piss Elm? .

Yellow and stringy. Could be string cheese. Have you tried taking a bite?

Mulberry or locust.

Elm

Hedge or mulberry. Excellent firewood. 2-3 years. All could change with pics.
