NAME THAT TREE
« on: March 09, 2011, 05:07:00 PM »
Ok, where is what we have, or I have.    :help:   Can you name this tree, or what was a tree.    :confused:     The log 9' long and 9"'s at the base.  Very heavy.  I sealed the ends about 20 minutes ago.  Tell me what you think.    :thumbsup:

Buckeye? Chestnut? I've seen it before cause we have some around the river here where I live, but I can't remember what the name of it is?

I'm guessing Buckeye.

It's called HerculesClub (Zantboxylum clava-herculis)The bark and foliage have a numbing effect and was used as a toothache remedy.

Pat nailed it, sometimes called Prickly Ash, should make a good bow, I think, Pat what do you think?

I've never tried it but I would. See how well it splits and how heavy it is after it dries a bit.

yup, we call them "knob thorns" in south africa- cut one of the knobs off and bite into it on the sore tooth- we had a huge one in our yard as a kid- probably 18" at the base but was kinda laying down- so had a long sweeping trunk maybe 20' long- good midsized tree.
great haven for birds.
i dont know where they are indigenous to- but there were heaps of them on the east coast of s.a.
regards
