Tree identification help(new pic)

[Knawbone]

Was it growing around water or dry land- hill or flatland?

[Knawbone]

The bark is very similar to w. Ash and Ash grows straight like that. It could very well be Black Ash

Knawbone, it was growin in some woods on the edge of a field with post oaks, hickories, green ash and osage. Fairly dry ground.

Excuse me, Okie, but this doesn't look like the wood in the center of your first pic?

Is it me, or just this different computer, I've using?

The first pic is either, locust or mulberry like others have said. Mulberry has a smooth golden brown bark! Black locust has a light brown, deep, thick, furrowed bark!

Your last pic, looks somewhat like pignut hickory, but the rings are to defined! Maybe a young walnut? Like to see the bark.

[okie64]

I promise its the same wood. I think it looks darker in the first pics because I had just split it and the wood was really moist. After I cut this piece and sanded it lightened up the color of it quite a bit. It has pretty thick defined rings. The grain to me really looks like ash but I could be wrong. Ill get a close up pic of the bark on here in a little bit.

Frank, you can see the bark pretty good in the first pic I posted, theyre on the bottom. The log on the far left in the bottom two pics is osage if that helps for comparison.

[Ricky Wallace]

What kind of smell does it have? Sweet or flat? {if that makes any sense}

[Pat B]

Generally mulberry will have a milky sap ooze from the cambium when cut. Might not be obvious this time of year.

[frank bullitt]

So it's from the same log as the two it's between in first pic?

The bark is flat, weave like, with diamond pattern?

[KY59]

 It's a mulberry. I work for a tree service.

[okie64]

Frank, yes thats right,the splits that it is layin in between are the same log. I know what you guys are sayin about the color of the wood being like mulberry but to me the bark looks nothing like mulberry that ive seen.

[okie64]

Heres a new pic I took this morning. The wood has dried out a little more. Osage on top of it for comparison.

[Sidewinder]

I was thining its color looks like osage or mulberry and since you said it does'nt have thorns, I'm gonna say its mulberry, but thats just a guess.  Danny

Whatever it is, it doesn't grow native here in Idaho    , but if you send it to me I will build a bow and tell you if it works.  

[okie64]

Thanks for all the input guys. I guess Im gonna call it mulberry. I'll let it dry and see what I can do with it. Greg, if you are serious send me a pm and we'll see what we can do.

[Pat B]

For mulberry or locust you want to make it about 10% bigger all around as a similar weight osage bow. 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" wide and 64" to 66" long for 28" draw.

[Hopewell Tom]

Post a picture of a twig from the tree. Something from the crown with buds on it. That should help the ID. Or a leaf.

[frank bullitt]

You folks who say mulberry, is it red or white?

I've never seen mulberry with that type of bark!

Heartwood is too pale for the mulberry I've cut.

How does the physical weight compare to osage, okie?

[okie64]

Kinda hard to find a leaf but heres some pics of twigs that I got out of the top of the tree if that helps.
