Wood id please

Is this hackberry?
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

I'd say that was hackberry with those corky warts all over it.

I don't know where you are, but that doesn't look like the hackberry we have in Indiana.

I ran into that same problem when I was getting started. But once you get a go-to species that you can identify easily, things will pick right  up for you.

I'd say it is a hackberry of some kind, I've noticed some variation in the bark around where I live.  Could be a subspecies as well, maybe Georgia hackberry?
