Picked up one branch of this mystery wood with a scrounged load. It's bright yellow and splits easily. Never seen anything like it. Anyone? I suppose I should mention it was in southern Wisconsin.
Well, if you want to drive across the state and unstack a face cord of ash to get at the six pieces of mulberry at the bottom, come on up.Yep - Mulberry. Terrible wood for burning. Tell me where you are and I'll take it off your hands for you.
You nail it....Looks like Osage orange (hedge) to me. It and mulberry look very similar.

The bark looks more like mulberry to me...

To me, Osage orange has a more stringy appearance of the bark than this pic. But the wood could be OO as both are a bright yellow. Osage orange IS one of the top fuelwoods in the country. Just be careful not to overfire your stove!
