Any help identifying this wood? From West Michigan. The wood inside is yellowish and heavily grained. I don't have pics of the leaves, unfortunately, but I have included some pics of cut slabs, bark pieces, and end cut.
Bark looks like red bud.
wood looks like mulberry or hedge.
I also believe that it is mulberry. If Osage orange, the pores will be plugged with tyloses. Like white oak. If mulberry, the pores will be open like red oak. You will have to make a clean slice on the end grain with a razor knife to see this.
I'm with firefighter, looks like red bud. It has that green tint to it.
My middle brother bought an old house in Topeka, KS some yrs back. FWIW, it is a Frank Lloyd Wright home built by a rich guy who built the old Grand theater in town there back in vaudeville days. it has a redbud on the porch corner which I remarked was the biggest I've ever seen. he called the ext agent who measured it and it's now on the KS tree list I think for redbud. it's sure not THAT BIG! as seen above... :D
I vote for mulberry which is in the realm of size possibility and that color too.
