Not sure what this is but I believe it might be locust. Super dense, rich yellow interior. No bark since it’s been washing in the river for quite a while. Anyone have a guess or confirm what it is?

Im actually very good at determining various types of wood that way. I was stuck one time however. A guy handed me a small piece and i was unable to give him an answer right off like i usually can. So in order to further humiliate me he asked me to take a guess. So i told him that it was either a scrap of wood from an old outhouse, or a piece of pussy willow.

Locust here is green-yellow Bark...that’s a toss up, looks slightly more on the locust to me. I’ve cut hundreds of locust poles for fencing. I might know at least a little about it.

You would have to cut it to get a good smell of it. kwg For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative.

I cut some, geeze that was 7 years ago, and milled into a few boards... Some dense stuff. Exterior did not look like the OP's top pic - that I recall, it was much smoother. Such as.
