Another scrounge at my local yard compost site that I'm a little puzzled by. The pic of piece without bark looks like some sort of maple but never seen bark like that on maple. And it was very stringy to split which I've never encountered with maple before. Any ideas? Oh and I found several 4-5 foot long, 5 inch diameter or so logs as well and they had lots of little "nubs" on them for lack of a better term. Like where a branch would start to grow but they are short and rounded.

Looks like Elm to me ??

Very well could be, never found elm before but recall people saying it is stringy, right? That one pic without bark looks like a lot of maple species I've found, very smooth, guessing elm without bark would? Wondering if those frequent "nubs" are common on elm? Posting another pic of the whole pile I found.

Doesn’t look like elm. My first guess was Dogwood, but looking closer it could be a Hawthorne. It’s probably a common yard tree if it was dumped at the compost site, both would fit that description.

Looks like red maple to me.
