I thought I'd post a new thread so that the new post didn't get lost in the mix with all the stuff in the original thread about identifying my mystery orange wood:

After a couple of good sunny days I went out and checked on the pieces of this I split last week. I cut up just a little more of it I found mixed in a few logs I had remaining also. So, here is a pic of a fresh cut piece beside a piece that had been sitting outside split for a few days.
The wood turned light brown very quickly. Here's a pic of an unsplit log:
In the previous thread we began to come to the conclusion that this may be Eastern Hophornbeam, aka Ironwood. Based upon the photo, what does everyone think now? Thanks again for your help!
