Hard to tell what kind of wood but it looks more like a crotch than a burl.  Might be squirrelly wood from a scar too but I'm favoring a crotch.

The Sapwood is real light and is a bit yellow.  I've seen camphor do that around here.

It's definitely a hard wood and the heartwood looks more like a hickory or pecan.

The damage leads me to believe that it was a yard tree or fence row tree.

I'll guess Hickory but will be back with Red Bud or Willow later.

And the winner is..........Don Staples!  This is a portion of a mesquite root I recently cut up.  Now Don, did you really know or did you look at the properties of the photo to see the file name??!!

Nope, I'm sure he wouldn't. ::)  I'd never stoop to such a thing, either, but I'll probably start looking at the "properties" on all the pics, from now on. ;D

Oh, by the way, I was gonna say it was the crotch of a grafted pecan tree, but the damnphone rang and prevented me from showing my ignorance. :)

Unfortunately the computer does not do it justice.  Mesquite, this piece in particular, is MUCH prettier than pecan.  Not even close.  That would be like comparing a nice bandmill with one of them thar circular thingymajigs!

Yeah, I know whatcha mean, Curt. Them nice little bandmills just pale in comparison to a good ol' circle mill. :D

Some of us already thought about that properties cheat. ;D Take a look at some of our past photo I.D. file names and you will see that most do you no good.

No, didn't look at properties of the photos, but will from now on, as will most of us :o

All that aside, I burn enough mesquite in a year to stock a good bar-b-que, and have used it to make knife handles, and assortment of other stuff.  for those of you interested in the stuff, beautiful grain, hard as the hubs of hell, and a pain to harvest.  Thorns, ya know.

Don't pull a picture of misquite on a board with another Texan, we do love that bar-b-que. ;D
