Have had poplar smell like cimamon... and also smell like fresh dog poop too. Not sure what causes the smell.

no its way denser and tougher to cut than popple, its from a yard tree, that had leaves/branches like a fruit tree, thats why i assumed cherry... how about apple? or pear?

Picture doesn't help much. Most fruit wood has much thinner bark, and does tend to be dense heavy woods. The annual rings look as thick as your finger, that would mean a pretty fast grower. Most fruit trees don't grow that fast, especially one that looks like its only 6-8 inches thick. Sorry, that's all I've got, Joe.
