What the heck is this?
I got a few lengths of this log from a friend. It was cut in the spring and the cut ends were all black as tar from drying-but when I cut it up into 16" lengths and split it up this past weekend it was very yellow inside. Trunk was about 16"-20" in diameter, grain is a lot like an ash. It was twisty but split by hand very easy and with little effort despite the twist. Picture didn't quite capture the deep yellow color.
Is it Hackberry? I thought Hackberry was white/grey color but I've only seen it in lumber form.
