Any ideas what this might be?

I roughed out this bowl a couple of years ago and set it to dry (which it has done very nicely). Now I cannot remember wh we're I got it it what would it might be.

I've compared these pix to Paul's shots of black ash, white ash, black locust, honey locust, and American elm - it doesn't seem to match any of those to my untrained eye.

Help please

Not locust or elm

Some kind of populus. Cottonwood, poplar, aspen and the rest.

Ash, both have distinct smell. Not black ash

Mulberry perhaps? ONE OF PAUL'S ENDGRAIN SHOTS

Mulberry starts out yellow then browns

I guess this isn't mulberry then, it's pretty much the same today as it was over a year ago.

Thanks!

The bowl sure looks like white ash.

The bowl sure looks like white ash.

That would be my guess.

I just looked that up. American white ash is really white. European ash is much darker. Off white.
I always thought they were so similar that they were basically the same. I guess I was wrong.

Looks like Green ash to me. Very common street tree until EAB arrived. Could also be one of the white ash choices.
