Well as i've never turned cottonwood or persimmon. Or for you bud floornut :rofl::rofl: This wood has green spots all through it in the ceamy sap if that helps. It is also very heavy. Crocked trunk.:dunno:. Here's one more pic of the piece after i ripped it in half.

This piece makes me think Hackberry... with the curl on the upper edge.. and whiteness of the wood.... when it spalts, it will gray some and have nice black lines through it...
 
If it was cottonwood you would know by the smell it has a very distinct odor. As my uncle use to say it smells like squirrel (coc rule prevents me from finishing) :rolleyes: ..............water!!!:huh: :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Jay, I wanna know how your uncle knew what squirrel urine smells like. :p
