Name this tree

[Ravlyn]

Hey all,

I thought I would hit the pros up as I think I was told that this tree was a black walnut. I was going to use it to hear the house. But when it was dropped off it didn't look like black walnut to me. It's centre is yellow and splits similar to a pine or something. It doesn't split the best either. The outer skin if the bark on the narrow branches are a mouse grey and then turns red. The actual centre is all yellow. The bark is fairly smooth at the smaller pieces. But as you get to the base tree trunk it starts to split and look scabby. The weight I would compare to ash or heavier. I have pics just haven't figured out how to load them off my phone yet

Thanks

Sounds like you may be describing locust . Without pics it's hard to say

Bob. I'd name the tree Bob.
Bob is a good name for a tree.


Seriously, pics are about the only thing that will help.

Unless you are from the south. There Billy Bob would be more appropriate.

See, I was going to suggest Dave. Based on experience with a guy that used to drink with us, no matter what you try Bob will never split. I think it's because of twisted grain.
