I have a lot of these trees and don't know what they are. They are heavy when fresh but light when dry, they rot easily, don't burn that well, leave a clumpy ash, and have a stringy inner bark layer that can be tough to pull apart if not cut all the way through when splitting. NY Finger Lakes region. Some type of Poplar maybe?
