Anyone have guesses on what kind of tree this might be from?

Northern Cal black walnut would be my best guess? (and to be fair that's not knowledge, that's leaf ID help). I looked for anything else it might be I was less familiar with cause the leaves are right for some type of walnut but didn't realize the trunks of those Nor Cal black walnuts commonly get 5-6 feet in diameter.

Yep, . That one was over 7' !

I was going to second Coralillo's guess. Has bipinnate compound leaves, bark looks about right and it gets really big.
Hey Coralillo, weren't you looking for a slab from a tree like that?

Yeah, but walnut wasn't quite what she wanted and even if it was, I think I'd need to take out a bank loan to buy a black walnut slab that size in California lol. Definitely "money is no object" slabs coming off that trunk!

According to my son, that tree was one of the biggest, if not the biggest known black walnut trees in our neck of the woods! It was located on the Sacramento river in a little town appropriately named Walnut Grove. I think it was a three day job to get it down and cleaned up, with a crane and a crew of workers involved

Yeah, that's a monster! That's next level cost removal, with all the heavy equipment and skill involved for something that big. I see, just off the 5 there south of Sac. I used to live in Tahoe on and off all through the 90's in my snow bum days, been up and down 80 past Auburn countless times.
