Is this texas wood?

 

[AmarilloSlim]

Yes, I believe this to be a native Texas tree not a transplanted yard bird.

Are they from the same tree or two different woods? The bigger piece in the first two pictures almost looks like Black Locust, the smaller 3rd picture looks like Pear. But I could be wrong.....

 

[AmarilloSlim]

Believed to be from the same tree. Originally thought it was mesquite ( reason I grabbed it) I'll post more split and bark pics shortly.

Half eaten

I don't know southern woods but it looks like what I would think Pecan wood would look like.

Pecan for the smoker.

 

[HackBerry]

Looks like Pecan to me. I would save it for the smoker.

The known pecan pictured or the other unknown species?

 

[blazincajun]

I've seen other cherry (I.e., Prunus spp.) species with similar bug eaten bark/cambian areas. I thought it looked like some kind of cherry.

Either way it measures about 20 percent on a fresh split face. Less than a week later the splits measure way under 20% (4 day old face) pic included: mesquite as I originally thought.

Is there locust in Texas? Looks like dry locust.

 

[AmarilloSlim]

Yard bird honey locust are in my stacks never seen BL. Edit: no splinters on the grain like locust. Bark is nowhere near as thick as BL appears from pics. And not scaly like HL. Also pulled some red cedar like chips from the saw.

Mesquite: final answer.

 

[illenema]

Looks like almond

Someone just posted pics of mesquite, the bark looked flat and stringy like Cedar. Like a day or so ago. It was on a scrounge post.
But what you have looks interesting, like it would have a strong smell.

Well I have a 1/2 chord of Almond from our local supplier and the grain and color are right on.
