I recently acquired some logs that I cannot identify. They were cut by someone that left the area so I have no access to additional information, and don't have any leaves from the tree.
I believe the tree to be native to northwest Nebraska as it was growing in the wild here, but it is unlike anything else I have cut in the area.
The wood is fairly hard and is somewhat stringy like Elm. The sample picture shows a dark tan or chestnut colored wood with a wide very bright white sap wood. The bark sample has a very shaggy appearance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
