Can you name the wood

[Finatic]

I was gifted with a beautiful North Carolina Burl today. The giftor had no idea what kind of tree it might be, and I have no idea either. I'm hoping with the collective knowledge here you could help me out. Photos were taken with my I phone, I hope they are good enough. Thanks.

The colour reminds me of Eastern redcedar . Should have that characteristic smell if it is .

The pinkish color of interior and the bark make me think it is Dogwood. It is our state flower in NC (& a few other states I think)(because of the beautiful spring blossoms it has).
I've seen a few burls on dogwood in the woods but never knew if they were solid or hollow.
Dogwoods are usually a small tree but are a tough wood. (sometimes used for wooden wedges or "gluts" I think. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Cannot smell any describable scent. Don't think it's cedar. Thanks.

Hoss, the trunk of the tree was large, maybe 18-24" But I'm tending to agree with you about being dogwood. Very good possibility. Thanks.
