Hello. I could use some help identifying this tree from western Pennsylvania. The tree was dead so I don’t know what the leaves look like. It cuts very hard almost like a locust. Any help appreciated, I can’t find another tree on my property like this but I’m thinking of milling it

Thanks for everyone responding. It doesn’t smell like whiskey and from what I can tell it’s really hard to split. Almost like a locust. I think it’s some sort of elm tree. I’ve only ever milled cherry and ash so I’m going to slab this guy up. If it’s elm I think it’s good for outdoor, no?

epicormic bud growth makes my think red elm. Burn a piece, if it smells like cow $hit that confirms it!

Possibly butternut hickory?
