Got any leaves?  ...bark?  ...maybe seeds or such?  Those are more handy to ID a wood species than the grain of the wood itself most times.

...I do not know about 'bluewood', but this does not quite look like the few examples of Buckthorn I've seen.   :-\

Could u be more vague please  ::) ... leaf pics? Buds? Bark? Anything more than a couple dark poor quality photos of the wood grain  ???

If your referring to rhamnus cathartica I'd say no...it looks all white to me...and European buckthorn(rhamnus cathartica) has a orangish/yellowish-pinkish hued heartwood..

This is from a sapling so any special looking characteristics might not show up yet,, very fibrous looking,, looks different from other buckthorn ive seen ,, but the grain looks the same

What species are you referring too..I believe there's a few species trees with a common tongue name of "buckthorn"...just like "ironwood" lots of species of trees have the nickname of iron wood...buckthorn has a few as well....did it have any heartwood at all? I'll look when I get home,but I think there is another species down in Texas that folks call "buckthorn",but it isn't rhamnus cathartica ,which is an invasive species from europe....go find some of the same thing you cut and take pics of the leaves n fruits n bark and post em...until then its all just guesses and no one here on this forum will be able to identify it with 100% confirmation...words are not enough IMHO
