Goose,

I believe that what you have is elm.  Hackberry is in the elm family, and the wood is very similar with the squiggly wavy bands of latewood pores.  Would be hard to tell apart by the wood, color helps. 

Fishfighter,

I believe that what you have is sugarberry.  However, it takes an expert to definitively distinguish between hackberry and sugarberry.  They intergrade, so it really does not matter a lot.  As to the minute differences, sugarberry leaves tend to be more entire, that is, less toothed, while hackberry leaves tend to more toothed.  Also, the drupe (fruit with a pit like a cherry or olive) is beakless in sugarberry while hackberry has a pronounced beak. 

Fishfighter, I bet that your drupes are beakless, no offense intended  :D.

I am still betting on an elm royal flush  :D.  Either way, the wood is about the same.  Beautiful grain with the wavy bands in the latewood.  Spiral grain that makes it very hard to split (or unsplittable).  Prone to warp and twist, but still so pretty that you want to risk it.
