Wood ID Referance

ive never cut any ash with such a dark center
not just the piece on top, look at the 2 below it
those few dried up leaves sure look like bitternut leaves too
bitternut hickory bark looks very similar to ash, the ridges just arnt as deep and are flat compared to the ash bark ridges that usually come to more of a point

Agreed... Bark alone is real tough to identify from...

Anybody know what it is? Good for anything? Splits? Firewood?

Beech looking leaf... But the bark don't look right. So I'll have to defer to someone who knows what the hell they're talking about...

Could be, cause I have absolutely no Black locust around here whatsoever... But I do have Mulberry that looks exactly like that... Weird...

Oh, I know what Black Locust looks like... We had a few where I grew up. I just never had to cut it.. But that stuff in the photo's didn't have any bark. Just that same gold nice grain of Mulberry, and the same thin white "cambium" layer??? If I used the right term there... But then again, They may not even have Mulberry trees up in NY... I've never been there... Probably never will be...:msp_sneaky:
