i'd have to agree with Apple . . . looks much like a yellow transparent apple tree i cut earlier this year.
Storm damaged Linden.
Not positive, but pretty sure that It's Box elder, a section of root, and the place where it's broken and white is the base of the tree. Box elder is the absolute bottom of the barrel as far as I am concerned. Hard to cut, hard to split, heavy as a 2 dollar hooker, and won't burn worth a sheet even if soaked in gasoline. Only heat ya get from it is that which you get from trying to cut and split it. My advise is to haul it back to the woods and bury it in a deep hole and cover it with quick lime and fill in the hole.

I think this might be right, based especially on the very wide growth rings. Sometimes hard to tell with the bark.
Linden/bass wood is often planeted as an ornamental in parking lots and other urban settings. Wood carvers like it, and it had some other woodworking traits. Not in that condition. Sadly, not even very good as firewood, which is what you have there.
BTW, sharpen that chain. Looks like you burnt your way through some of those pieces.
