The wood looks just like ash, but the bark is not ash. I don't know what it is.
 
It certainly looks like hackberry, but the ones around here are usually fully warted out by the time they get that big.
 
Definitely hackberry (Celtis occidentals) - warty bark, white wood with thin bark.

Yep, it's fairly common around here (Doublebogey and my area.) You see a lot of variation in the amount of warts; I'll try to find and get a pic of a super-warty one I saw out there the other day.
Medium BTU, about like Cherry. Definitely a wood worth grabbing when it shows up. They don't seem to die very often so I just get ones that get slammed by an Oak deadfall or something..

Here's some warthogs I came across today, plus a couple bone-us pics of the magnificent specie that is the White Oak. The bark is near blinding when the sun is bright. ☀️🤗
