Laburnum, very valuable timber. 

It’s the bark that’s that’s thrown me - never seen laburnum with that bark

Cotinus coggygria

Look at the vestiges of seed carrying parts.

The bark matches and the wood is yellow and dense.

I would have said Laburnum from the pictures showing the inside of it, but I can't remember seeing a Laburnum with such deeply scaly bark.

It fits with those flower heads and if you ignore the abrasion mark the bark does look like the old stunted laburnum street trees locally, and it is a legume 🙂

I am almost certain that it is not Laburnum , however I can not be sure what it is , Cercis is a good possibility as is Cotinus , but not Laburnum ...I turn quite a lot of Laburnum ( today in fact !!) but the wood and bark not right ....did you not identify the tree before cutting it down ??  As for value , everyone thinks it is worth a fortune except anyone wanting to buy it 😂After further thought the wood looks like Mulberry , the twig pictures are not very helpful though ...

Looks a likely contender 👍

Cotinus.  The finest, fluffiest bits you can see are what give it it's common name of Smokebush
