As stated in the title, I am new to wood turning, (about 1/2 year in) and am starting to get a little more adventurous.
I managed to pick up some logs, fresh cut. I need help identifying one of them, and would very much appreciate any input anyone might have.
I know two of them are black locust.
I live on the eastern US. Mountains of N.C.
I am having trouble identifying the third log. It is big (20" at the ends, and kinda swollen, maybe 23" in the middle), heavy, and light colored. It has a lot of vines on the outside that were chopped off. (English ivy). Hard to discern the bark appearance. But it is grey, on the light side I think, with not very deep nor wide wrinkles. (1/4 - 3/8" wide)
I looked at the log with my macro lens and took a photo, unsure the exact magnification achieved, as I cropped this down. I tried to approximate 10x, but who knows...
I used wood database wood ID utility, and the furthest I got was maybe some kind of ash?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, with warm regards,
Hank
