Bur Oak's bark is dark gray, thick and so deeply furrowed that it breaks into distinct ridges.

Relatively easy to split

osage orange is almost flourescent yellow when split open fresh like that
 
It's not hedge (osage orange) I cut that all the time, this bark is way too course, and the color is actually a yellow/green with some black rings in it.

Its a type of locust i believe not like the average stuff ive ran in to it to but it has short thorn in stead of the long ones right?
