svk,

2 different trees I think, your very first picture is black locust but all other pictures are black walnut.

Or just picture #1 had a red glow when taken, sure looks like very odd bark for walnut though.

Thanks everyone. I'll go with BW at this time. As I mentioned I will be cutting at this place in the future and will keep an eye out for leaves.

IMHO Black Locust interior wood is yellow in color and the bark has longer, deeper grooves, at least that's what the Locust we have in WV looks like.

Bruce 46,

Yeah north and south BL are very different looking beasts.

Same type of tree as OP. Just starting to leaf now. Any ideas?

Oaks flag out late. I cut 4 chestnut oaks Thursday.

I'll be back there cutting in a week or two. Will cut another one and take pics of full leaves.

lol. You Iowa guys are sick. I only like seeing and handling my own wood.

No clue on the tree, but I would say that Ambull01 needs to git hisself a wife.

It is chestnut oak

I seriously doubt that...
svk lives in northern Minnesota... the Chestnut Oak don't grow within near a thousand miles of him.

That looks like an elm leaf to me. Not sure which one, though, as they are new growth. I'll SWAG it as Slippery Elm.

Hmm....something to ponder.....although. Pears are from Asia......bamboo is from Asia....etc etc.....

 

[moondoggie]

That is a good bit of info WS. Had not thought to look at where he lives.

These were actually cut in the central part of the state north of Minneapolis. Not in far northern MN by my cabins.

Here's a larger one which may help shed some light on it. This one is also almost dead.
