Simple: here are two pictures, one of the bark and another of the buds of tree species X.

Good luck!

Not remembering your location, would help to know it. Pls add it to your profile.

What else can you tell us about the wood? A pic of the end grain, and one or two not so close-up would help too.

I'm in Ontario, but I took the photos from the internet.

Curdog and Texas Ranger, you've both got the genus.

Basswood (linden)

That didn't take long; Tilia americana... your pun works at least two ways Curdog, cause that bud picture looks a bit like a rod.

I hope this one is more difficult, though you guys are good.
