Looks similar to some Red Elm splits that it is in the stack with, with the light-colored sapwood, but it is heavier which I'd expect since it's a higher BTU wood. This wood is dry.
These Red Elm splits are barkless, but this scaly bark looks somewhat similar, though not real close.
Pic 1) Red Elm, bottom. What I think may be Mulberry, top.
2) End grain, Red Elm left. Thing I noticed here was more distinct rings in the sapwood of the Red Elm.
3) Red Elm, bottom. Mulberry, top.
4) Fresh-split "Mulberry."
5,6) Bark pics.
