Not very heavy, less than oak or maple. A little heavier than pine. Cross cuts fairly easily, very long noodles when noodling. Splitting is a real pain. Very stringy especially pieces that have knots. No noticeable smell. I don't have pictures of leaves as these were logs i got free. Logs are anywhere from 18" to 30" diameter and straight. These trees were planted many years ago and taken care of. There are also maples, ash and locust in the same lot. It used to be part of a hospital grounds that was given away to a school. They are clear cutting all the tress that were planted many years ago to make it easier to maintain.

I can't. These were logs given to me
Possibly. But isn't Honey Locust heavy?

I'll throw black(swamp) willow in the hat. Basswood usually splits easy and straight. The bark doesn't look right for honey locust and honey locust is heavy.
IDK, Elm is stringy does it look like any kind of elm to anyone?

The fact you say they were planted and cared for rules out some species.

Doesn't Hickory have a smokey BBQ smell to it?
Yup all he has to do is burn and smell some.
