Not the BL I am familiar with, but it does have similarities. Its too dark, but has the same basic structure. Show us some more bark pictures. BL is greenish yellow when first cut, then turns tan in the sun in a couple of weeks. Your colors just don't make sense to me unless they are saturated from sitting in water.

The bark doesn't look like BL, and osage doesn't grow there.

Bl without hedge thats a penalty shot! :lol:

I don't think hedge or black locust. Mulberry? Persimmon?

OK... not persimmon. Just looked that up and the bark ain't even close. But mulberry bark looks like that, so I'm putting down two bucks on mulberry to win.

I was thinking black locust before I read your post...just looking at the pictures. Still say BL...just weathered.

I got 3 cords stacked if thats bl it will show in a couple days. Bl is as gray as can...Unless that has been setting in standing water for awhile.

You're right- BL starts out a sickly greenish yellow and gets gray. Mulberry does what osage does to some degree and gets a richer color as it ages. Those thick rings look like mulberry as well. I dunno, could be a lot of other things.

In my experience BL starts out a sickly greenish color, turns to a burnt orange color (like in the photos) when exposed to air for several weeks, then very slowly turns to gray as it seasons.

I think it's BL.
