My neighbor brought this little chunk over last evening wondering what it was. I don't think I have ever seen it before. It has been in someone's living room for many years and seems very dense. Any ideas?
BL isn't red like that.FLINT said:The wood also looks a lot like Black Locust to me. the bark didn't look furrowed enough until I noticed that it looked like it had been well worn down.
I could go with mulberry or black locust. Black locust would certainly be dense.

Wondering about your comment. Is hedge cutting not allowed in your area?

Just intrigued with the opportunity of finding the holy grail here. I don't think I have seen it before.

Watch out for what you wish for. Most farmers want them GONE. Kinda like a walnut tree in a yard. Pretty to look at, but they have their down sides. The hedge apples (monkey brains) that drop from the female trees are nasty to deal with.
