Sorry mate, Bob -- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short. |

Big for locust. Agree, doesn’t look like mulberry. -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

It is either Mulberry or Locust or Osage. No other choices here for how it looks. I have seen a very large mulberry and there are certainly large enough locust around me in NY that it is not unreasonable for that to be the case. -- Matt Rogers, http://www.cleanairwoodworks.com and http://www.cleanairyurts.com |

If it is mulberry, the pores will be open. If it is black locust, the pores will all be filled with tyloses. A close up of the end grain with a clean slice across a couple of growth rings will tell the tale if you want to be sure. The leaves and buds are very different too, plus the twigs of black locust has a pair of thorns at the base of the leaf petiole. All you need is a twig…... -- Danny Located in Perry, GA. Forester.

If it’s Osage, there should be thorns every 2 inches on the twigs. If not, it ain’t Osage…...... Jerry (in Tucson) -- Jerry (in Tucson) www.woodturnerstools.com |

Elm is a possibility too, leaves or more clues would be helpful. |

When you cut a mulberry branch or damage the bark, a milk color sap oozes out. Also, the yellow color of the wood gets pretty dark brown similar to the broken branch on the picture. -- earthartandfoods.com |

If it is mulberry, it will move a lot as it dries. At least mine does. -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

Male mulberry trees do not bear fruit. They produce pollen for the female trees. It’s probably a male and that’s probably why the guy thought it wasn’t a mulberry. Just guessing, but there is a really big male mulberry in my younger brother’s back yard in Kentucky with no berries. -- Dale Manning, Carthage, NY |
