Looks like yellow locust, got any photos of bark and leaves?
looks like Mulberry
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)

Not sure this helps much. Mulberry on Locust without a finish.
Osage Orange does grow around here, but this is the Southern limit. There is a large tree in Pittsboro on the corner next to the Pizza shop just up from the Woodwright's School. The fruit is the size of small bowling balls, and I seldom resist the temptation to "bowl" one down the side street there which has a long slow slope! Mulberry is common here and looks a lot like Osage Orange. The leaves are slightly different. I believe the two are from the same genus, but different species. The mulberry is a bit more reddish, especially when just cut.
Maybe osage orange is a better choice?
An osage log has a lot of yellow heartwood.

I can get pictures of the bark but not the leaves
Good send the bark pics! It's a little early for the leaves to be fully out for good pictures.
I sent a picture of the bark but it is an attachment can you see it
Osage 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.

I picked up some osage orange that was cut for firewood from a Maryland roadside a few years back. It had a similar color when I turned pens; it took a long time to dry out enough to work with. Only got 2 logs, the LOML was scolding me for running across traffic to get them!
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.
