Hi Bob

I had to look twice, but I'm quite certain that you have Mullberry
there, both the bark and the wood grain/color are typical Mulberry, as
someone was calling it Osage orange, he was close, but no sigar ;-))

That would be a good fit. Mulberry bark looks about right, explains the
coarse grain suggested in the picture which is atypical of Boxelder or other
Acer sp.. Domestic plantings rather than forest ... why not?
