Yellow Mustard Wood?

[Ryan]

I was at a firewood yard delivering a curly maple thank you pen to the guy that owns the place for letting me have the curly maple logs. While I was there he let me have some cherry burl and a very strange yellow wood that was burl. He nor I knew what it was. I took it home and cut the burl in half and it smelled like mustard[]

Does anyone have any idea what wood is yellow and smells like mustard[?]. I will try to take a picture of it tonight and post it for a visual.

Mustard?

There are a bunch of "yellow" woods....osage orange, mulberry, yellowheart, etc. Need to see it and "smell it" (sounds like an old Cheech and Chong skit).

Black locust can be VERY yellow, but I don't know if it smells.
Griz would know, but ...

Here is the picture of a piece I turned down. It looks pretty cool. I just wish I knew what it was now. O.O. does not grow here so I can rule that one out. It looks like it could have some of the same grain as Black Locust, but it is hard to tell from a burl. Mulberry is everywhere here.

The black locust pen that I have (see album) is VERY yellow... a pretty good match for the piece you're showing. I've not seen yellowheart that yellow, in fact!

Sure is pretty, no matter what it is!

Yellow and sour smelling is definitely mulberry. Black locust has a faint but fairly straight grain.

Thanks Guys!

Does a mulberry bush have spikes on the branches? I recently removed a bush from my brother's house and the inside was bright yellow!
