Please help ID this wood

[NORM ABRAHAM]

Please help me identify this piece of wood. This and other pieces were pulled from a old barn in the Lansing Michigan area. Putting it through my planer i can say it seemed VERY hard. Thanks for looking at my wood.

Not a great grain picture.
Could be black cherry.
Definitely Bug infested.
Don’t mix it with clean stock.

I have never seen powder post Beatles in black cherry
and that does not look like any of the black cherry that I have seen
That sort of looks like beach grain and color or maple PPB love maple (no clue if that is what it is )
But Garry is correct do not mix that with other stock it is or has had a bug investation looks like PPB damage

In north central FL, sometimes the black cherry grows along creek banks or in swampy areas and will get a mineral stain which has this appearance on the face.
I had PPBs get into my BC in the wood stack from some infected maple.
It happens.

Not saying it’s BC, that was one guess. End and edge grain pics needed.

Same photo, lightened up, and close up.

Elm, perhaps. An end grain photo would help.  I made a crapload (intended) of "rustic" frames from weathered elm salvaged from an outhouse near Stockbridge.  Nobody'd buy elm back when, so it was a GP wood.

IIRC, it smelled like elm when I charred the new cuts even after a hundred alleged years of use, not like its contents....

Hard Maple.
