What an odd tree, what is it?

[Bill Wyko]

Gotta wonder what this wood would look like. Any idea what it is?

Australian bottle tree.

Bottle tree?

[Jim Matthews]

Is that the Baobab?

It might help if the Continent of origin were mentioned with the original photo?
Did it come from a particular webpage?

I think that this is it.

I saw the trees the other day on Facebook but it didn't have a name or origin along with the photo. They are awesome looking trees and like nothing I have ever seen in the real world or on line.

I think it's the Baobab tree from Madagascar.

To me the trunk shape still looks like a bottle tree.

Paul, I agree with you.

Looks to be a Toborochi tree (also called silk floss tree):
