man look at the distinct rings on those logs!!  By the bark it looks like oak but it definitely isn't after looking at the wood itself.  Also the moss growing on it; I see on maple a lot but the wood doesn't look like that either.  That moss is almost a give away for maple in my neck of the woods.  Where do you live at?

Southwestern Ohio, I split it today and I think the tree climber is right it has a white ring on the outside yellowish on the inside Mulberry for sure.  The farmer down the road had a 1/4 mile tree line ripped out with a trackhoe roots and all. Told us we have till spring to get as much as we want. There is a ton of mulberry trees in that tree line woo hoo!!

Yup.  Mulbery for sure.  I've had very good results with it as firewood.
