So that's what walnut looks like, it has bark a lot like red maple. I think I saw some today on my hike through the woods.
Funny you say that, I was about to pop off and say Boxelder.

So i was doing a little splitting yesterday and split a couple chunks of this stuff..i was amazed how much the inside looks kind of like the black walnut ive been splitting with that deep rich purple, but obviously not dark enough and too many other colors in it. what do you guys think? is the wood rotting, is that whats causing it? or is this the natural color of the wood? its hard to tell from my cheap digital camera pics, but the colors are very vibrant, ranging from rich dark greens, light green, very bright blues and purple. im hoping this is something cool and not just some poplar that started to rot with cool colors:greenchainsaw:
so let the games begin!

its mineral stained poplar. yes there is a market for it,let me know if you want to sell it.
if you wernt in georgia , i would love to sell you some
how do they get like that while attached to the tree? you think the whole tree could be like that? the thing is HUGE
is it light like poplar or of medium weight like walnut and did you ever hear of white walnut?
what do they call that? Butternut? Or bitternut?
not exactly sure what causes it ,maybe a spot of soil with a high metal content? i would say if part of the tree has it it should run thru the whole thing. not all poplar does this,the most common coloration other than a white/offwhite is a nice dark/olive green.
if you can get some nice black/dark purple squares 2x2x 12" let me know we can work something out. other than cedar, min stained pop is my favorite wood for turkey calls.

id say maybe medium weight, its not light like my last mystery wood, the sassafras, but its not heavy like some wet locust or cherry, no ive never heard of white walnut
where did you get the wood is there anymore like it can you get pics of the same type of tree standing I need a little more to go on .also if its close enough to go back look for old walnuts on the ground.
