Very enjoyable thread gentlemen.
I'm glad I came along for the ride.

No one can say for positive from your pictures but the drab looking end on the fire wood cut off suggests persimmon. You can even tell a difference in the smell of these fresh cut woods in person but pics are just not so definitive.
On site it would also pay to look around at the trees still growing, good chance it has like company.

Just to confirm in case anyone still doubted.   It is persimmon.   Went back to the locale it was cut from and other a couple other persimmon were there.  My father in law also confirmed it.  By the way, apparently wild cherry stems and leaves can kill cattle when they die.  That's why he was in such a hurry to get the wood outta there.

Cyanide in the leaves, not really the best for any animal you want to keep alive.....but so do apple seeds.

   Cherry leaves are only poisonous while they are wilting, while green and growing no problem and after drying and turning brown no problem.

Small tree and not very common anywhere.  Same family as poison ivy  :).

I've never seen a smoke tree over 10-12' tall, more like a bush sized tree.

Smoke tree (  Cotinus coggygria ) is on the right.
