Turned very easily but a little stringy on the cross grain

The end grain photo looks a bit like Kentucky Coffee Tree. If the color is true.

I would say that is ash, maybe black ash.

Lots of different species can look very similar. You might get lots of guesses from a photo and all of them will be wrong except for one (if you are lucky.) To eliminate some guesses, ask Google to point you to wood database wood ID and click on their wood identification guide. Read and follow section 7 on how to prepare the end grain for inspection and go from there. At the bottom of the page are instructions to send a sample to a gov lab for free ID.Originally Posted by Dale Dumond

what part of the world you from? and where did you get the wood? that may narrow down possibilities.
