Wood ID: Brown and White - North Texas

[swellcat]

I've tried The Wood Database, Texas A&M, and a seller of area woods, but so far, the match has not been made or just been overlooked. Could well be something very common, little regarded, and seldom used. The coffee-and-cream coloration is attractive to me, so I'd like to know what the source tree is as well as confirm any particular dust toxicity.

Part wet, part not.

Location the pieces were found is a mostly-sunny, roadside ditch in north-central Texas. Leaves were not present/not noted.

Density seems to be around 43 pounds per cubic foot based on a sample that has been drying for nine or so months. (Moisture content unknown.)

No aroma is detectable.

Thanks for any insight.

Post this in the firewood section.. You will get much more traffic and possibly an answer.

You could also email a Moderator to have them move it there.

Mimosa is the consensus of another gathering of woodworkers. Image searches show some pretty stuff made from this wood.

Thanks for the replies.
