Help identifying wood

[Wyomingraidersfan]

This piece of wood was given to me, by a friend if mine. Is there anyone that can help me identify it? Thank you

Possibly E redcedar , but should have the characteristic cedar smell . Photo of well sanded end grain might help . Fairly light weight or heavy ?

Looks like locust. Was it a fence post?

Not sure what it was used for. It is fairly light weight. Here us the cut off end and the letter opener I made from it

I would have to think it is Eastern Red Cedar also

It looks like red cedar to me too. It has the pith still in that blank so it will be very likely to crack.

Since it's light not locust. Cedar you would know by the smell when turned. Smell good when turned?
