    Obviously it's a very coarse ring porous wood, so that rules out close grained stuff like Cherry, Maple, or Sweetgum.

    I was going to guess Mimosa or Catalpa, but since that was ruled out, I'm going to guess some kind of Ash or Hickory.

    Shagbark Hickory? Black Ash?

    The color of the heart wood is much like a hickory of some sort.
