Apparently mulberry and locust look similar and have similar properties. They can be differentiated under a black light (see the video).

Mulberry pics and a comment about the yellow color.
bowl with color that does not appear real --- it's just TOO neon yellow
Locust pics.
bowl that pretty much HAS to be black locust, although not specificially identified as such (just locust)
I would have said Osage Orange but that doesn't typically grow around here. It is a very dense wood.
I can get pictures of the bark but not the leavesLooks like yellow locust, got any photos of bark and leaves?

I sent a picture of the bark but it is an attachment can you see itGood send the bark pics! It's a little early for the leaves to be fully out for good pictures.

Wow never thought of it as being the Osage Orange with all of that yellowOsage Orange is looking like a better choice. Lots of yellow heartwood in your picture and the bark is a close match to this one in Durham county.
