Wood I.D. any clues

[Frank Parker]

This is some logs I got from my brothers place. I have no idea what the tree looked like. The sap wood has a yellow cast to as does the brown heartwood. It seems to be fairly dence and heavy, the grain seems to about the same as honey locust, but the color not the same as honey locust. Once I get a piece roughed out and dried I'll have a better idea about the grain and hardnes.
Any help will be appreciated.

Looks like a big chunk of wastree! I haven't a clue either. God luck on that.

I'm terrible at this game, but I'd guess mulberry.

[Dan Forman]

Looks like Siberian Elm to me. Does it smell funky when wet? Elm turns well and has nice color.

I'm terrible at this game, but I'd guess mulberry.

Me too, I have some fresh mulberry that looks almost identical.

When you mentioned Mullberry, I remembered that I had a small Mullberry die last year and it was laying in my brush pile, so I cut a chunk to compare with this wood and it looks exactly the same. So I'm pretty confident that's what it is. Thank's for the help I would have never thought of Mullberry. Here's a couple of pictures of the first bowl roughed out of it.

Whatever it is, it makes beautiful bowls. ? Black Ash.

My guess would be some sort of elm also, I have some american elm bowls I turned that resemble that in color and grain.

Mulberry for sure :D

Mulberry - maybe. also maybe bo-darc (osage orange). Both are "escaprd tropicals"--very hard and very rot resistant.----------old forester

[Leo Van Der Loo]

They are related yes but the trees do not look alike, I have some pictures from both Osage and Mulberry logs that I turned, they are easily distinguished by the bark and inner bark color.

I agree with Mulberry. It's definitely not Bois d' Arc as the bark is completely different from that shown.

[Frank Parker]

I got a hold of the person that owned the property and it is definitely Mulberry.
Thank's for the help, and when I get one finished I'll post pictures.
