Okay, guys, thanks for the input so far. I'll check it out.
I have a couple black cherry trees on our property and the bark doesn't quite match up. I suppose there are other cherry trees I should check out, eh? I did come across photos of a plum tree that seemed to match, but I only had the bark to compare.
Thanks for your input.
That sir looks like apple to me , even with the red inside I have never seen cherry with type of bark...Seems to be nice wood ..The cemetery across the street took down some trees last year and piled the cuttings in the back of the lot, so I recently asked if I could take some for firewood. I pulled some walnut out (very beautiful wood and almost a shame to burn it) and some of the type of wood shown in the photos. I'm having trouble identifying what the second type of wood is. There are no leaves available.
The bark is smooth like a fruit tree and the wood is pink inside. It is very dense and heavy and has a fairly strong but pleasant smell. It also splits quite easily. Although my moisture meter says it's wet, it will still burn, albeit poorly.
Your help would be appreciated.
We're new to the site and this is our first post.
Thanks.

looks like some of the locust we have here in kansas hard on the saw!
But, it cuts great compared to the hedge trees here in Ks.
You got lucky with the thornless variety, All of my locust trees have 6 to 8 inch thorns in huge clusters. I trim them all off, pile them up and burn them on the spot. (saves money on tire repairs)
Anyone suggest locust of some sort?:biggrinbounce2:
Honey Locust.
Wood looks a bit similar to cherry, but the bark, not so much.
