The heartwood is dark salmon and the sapwood is pale yellow.
It has a strong spicy smell, somewhat unpleasant.
I don't know anything about it cause I found by the curb; it has branches coming in from three sides, so I hoping for interesting grain.

From the description and bark, it looks like some type of locust, but it is impossible to tell without leaves, more in depth details and pics.

I have used black locust, so I know this isn't that; but it could easily be honey locust, right coloring, right bark. Does hl have a strong smell? (I have a couple small ones in the back 40, but without leaves I sure couldn't find them...)
Could it be camphor?

Is it possible to get a picture showing more of the bark along with something for a size reference (your hand, perhaps)? A picture showing how the tree branches would be helpful as well.

Since SMC doesn't allow very big pictures, I have linked to one.
I don't know anything about the tree, there were just a few pieces cut up in the street. I "think" it will be a pretty bowl, whatever it is.
That looks an awful lot like cherry to me.
Wade,
I think it's honey locust.
