Anyone have a clue as to what this tree is. My friend cut it down in his yard and thought I might be able to use it. It was dead standing so I'm not sure of the stability of it. Has thin sapwood and bug damage in the sapwood. If I can't use it for billets it would make some nice project wood. Just would like to know what it is. My buddy didn't know , he said it looked like mesquite to him and it does resemble it. Thanks for any help on this topic. Tim.
