I'll go out on a limb and guess Red Oak. Flat sawn at that.

Hard to tell. It could be oak, but then again it could be hickory or pecan.

[QUOTE=SteveCourtright] Black Locust!!! [/QUOTE]

Realll close. It's Honey Locust. I wanted to see if it might be usable for building guitars, but the pores are just too coarse.

Whew! Lots of that tree in the hollers near the river flood plains of the MidWest. Very unfriendly thorns indeed!
