Pics would help but a stab in the dark...Cherry?
Some species of Locust, Osage Orange, Mullberry,and several non native species. As mentioned before, pics would help a lot.
Locust and mulberry are light yellow when fresh cut. Mulberry quickly turns redish brown as it drys.
Buckthorn is very orange when cut, and turns a darker orange as it seasons. Don't think it's actually a tree, but I have cut some 6-8" diameter stuff that made pretty good firewood.

Does it cut real easy and is it light?Or is it dense like Oak and heavy?

I had some cherry here that started out fresh cut sort of a yellowish orange, then got darker soon after cutting. Your bark sounds like cherry.
but who knows, i love these mystery tree ID threads as i am always learning, rarely guess accurately.....
with tree ID, good leaf pics rule.

Bark like corn flakes, orangish in color, kinda heavy; tight rings, and maybe tough to cut through, then buckthorn. Split, well dried, will burn so hot to run you out of the house. I've 40yr old 8" on my place and it really throws heat for the short time it burns. Some folks I know had purchased a couple cords of it, fit your description well, and they said it was the best wood in twenty years.
Pleasantly aromatic, much taller than fifteen feet, maybe thirty feet plus, with really thick corn flakes, easy cutting, looser rings, diameters at breast height of 8+ inches on a single stem......cherry.
Not much out there to fit your description beyond these two species.
Like others have said, pictures, or even one would help.
Look up the Audobon Eastern trees field guide, it has fantastic color photos and will likely help in your quest. Makes a great, inexpensive gift as well.

If it splits easy, it's not Mulberry.
Meh.
View attachment 251577View attachment 251576I got some pear last fall that was a bright orange, but lost the color some as it dried. Heavy, but the wood was distinctively brittle (not sure how else to describe it) once it seasoned.
