Name this wood

Having trouble deciding what brand of tree this is. Figured you fellas might know. No leaves to judge it by.

 

Looks like Persimion to me... Might be black Tupelo though...

 

No clue, but it's a really interesting bark. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

 

After researching I think Fanatical1 may be correct on black Tupelo aka black gum.

 

You can tell if there is a kookaburra sitting in it.

 

Winthrop?!
Family name?

 

My guess is Sourwood

 

How about Heywood???

 

ive seen a few sourwood trees in my area that look like that

 

Aaannnnddddd..... another thread exits the rails.. Winthrop gets my vote though. I think that's Eric's middle name & he won't tell anybody.

 

My guess for a name is Woody

 

Your not part of the "it" crowd at FHC until you have a thread derailed!

 

I named it "Peter"


Peter the persimmon. Ive never cut nor seen any around my parts but recognize it from the forum. And for the record i posted before i read all the other responses!

Ive learned to be careful what you say Donny Price with the clowns (myself included) on here!

 

Was there a possum up the simmon tree?

 

I'd name it Gator!

 

From bark alone, I would say persimmon. Can we get a look at some end grains? Better hope it's not tupelo...although I think it's too deeply furrowed for that.
