Someone gave me some free firewood, I picked it up yesterday. One pile was from a tree that I can’t identify. The wood is yellow, even yellower that the pictures, and it weathers to red. It’s hard and heavy, but splits OK. The photos below aren’t great, if needed I can take more in better light. I’ve only seen the cut wood, I have no other identifiers. This is definitely not a common forest tree for this area. It was a good 3 feet at the base.
Any ideas?

From the picture I would say locust or mulberry.

At this point I’m leaning towards Mulberry myself. 🙂
