Degree of difficulty earns more points?

Mebbe if you'd give us a picture of the bark, and stuff like:
Relative size,
Growth habit,
Environment,
Approximate wood density,
Picture of leaves, etc.

More = better.

Absent that, my first guess: American Elm

Tulip mayB.

Pics are rough, but +1 tulip or maybe maulberry. Need to see the bark.

My mulberry is orange like that in color when split.
Almost bright orange.

 

[gzecc]

My guess is mulberry. But never had any. Second thought is osage orange. Will take pics of bark.

If it barely floats when bone-dry & almost throws sparks when being cut,its osage orange.But if its lighter & a bit soft when green,its mulberry.Mulberry when green is quite heavy,barely floats also,but when dry is about the same as red/black oak & 20% less than hickory.I see Mulberry with those brownish-blackish streaks in pieces from older trees most often,especially near the center heart.

It's Mulberry, no question about it-seen it many times. If left exposed to the elements the yellow color will turn to reddish-brown.

Ditto. I have 3 cords waiting for next year. Geat firewood, even better if you have a hydraulic splitter.

The ends are reddish brown and they are very hard to split by hand.

True. Mulberry along with Osage Orange,will unfortunately begin to lose their brilliant yellow or yellow-orange color in a few hours with exposure to light & air, eventually changing to a dark brown or golden brown.I know of no surface treatment like a varnish,lacquer or similar for a finished product such as a jewelry box,candlestick,peppermill or fruitbowl etc that will keep that brilliant color.End grain is first to change,especially if its outdoors in sunshine. Even a clear penetrating oil will hasten the darkening.

Looks like some type of poplar to me..

Don't think it is poplar. I have had poplar before. It most closely resembles black locust except more orange. My initial thought were mulberry from my internet search, but was not sure of osage..
These came from a arborists stash. He would not have saved poplar.
