Need help from a Wood Detective

[Richard Preston]

This is Estate Wood. Does anyone know what it is? I believe it originated in Georgia.

Looks like Sycamore from the bark

Based on the flaking of the bark, this very well may be an older Eucalyptus tree, older because the thickness of the bark layers.

I'll go for Sycamore, because it's more or less native, versus the exotic eucalyptus. Lots of different looks to eucalyptus, but this doesn't look like the ones I saw. http://www.australiaplants.com/Eucalyptus_bark.html

Big wide leaves, Sycamore (plane), long stringy, eucalyptus.

I'm leaning toward Sycamore although you usually see more white bark flaking off. If the wood has been sitting around or move it may have rubbed all of that off.

Compared to the Sycamore I have in my shop, I would say that is a perfect match.

Shag bark Hickory?
Got a picture of the cut wood?

 

[James E Gaydos]

Kind of looks like River Birch

It has some interesting characteristics on the outside that remind my of Red Pine or something similar. Hard to say from my side of the screen, but you'll find out as soon as you cut it. 😀

My first thought was cedar/pine/cypress. Looks like there is a bit of fiber between the bark and wood. Smell should give it away. Does look similar to some sycamore/plane, but not like the stuff we have out here.
