What type of wood is this

I would guess some type of elm that had died standing.

Thick chunky looking bark, Maybee a young cottonwood

If it has a camphor (i.e. Ben Gay) smell, it might be Eucalyptus. The last two pics look like a different species.

I was thinking elm, when I first saw it.

Just a guess, but my first thought was black hickory (Carya texana).

The top one looks like red elm and the bottom looks like bur oak.

do you have black locust trees. The bark looks like it could be that . but it also looks like elm in the peeled pictures with the worm tracks Andysden

Looks like a hickory.
