[QUOTE="thor97, post: 6207230, member: 145370"] Sure looks like siberian elm to me. Got real rough bark, stringy, and a dark center. The leaves will look just like american elm, only 1/3 the size. Very small leaves. It is very heavy when first cut, as it holds a lot of water. It will dry quickly and be very light. It is only marginal for firewood, doesn't throw a lot of heat. It was brought in in the 30's because it is very drought resistant. I've only cut ironwood once and it was a long time ago, but it seems to me it was very gray, extremely heavy(much more so than oak), and had very thin bark. (a lot like young hickory) But if it's free I wouldn't turn it down. [/QUOTE]
