I'll have to say elm. The grain pattern and the strings. I just cut some up for firewood, elm makes good firewood.
 
What about this?

Here is a tree from our farm. I think it's either walnut or maybe elm?

No visual clues on ground that I could find. Too many nearby maples.
 
Hey Bowtie-
Those pics look alot like the bunch of 'siberian elm' we're burning this year. It does burn rather hot and fast, 'bout halfway between willow and oak. Coals well, but leaves alot of dense ash with 'klinkers'. When dried, it feels lighter than seasoned oak but fluffier than dry silver maple. Annular rings are average 1/8 0r 3/16 inch apart- ??? Wild guess...

That describes it pretty well. It works nice when split small to get the fire going for the mulberry and oak I been using this winter.
