Thanks guys.  Popular opinion from many is that it is black locust which is typical for fence posts.  I had a forester look at a sample under a microscope and she thought it looked a lot like chestnut and less like black locust.  I don't know what to call it except old, cool, rustic and fun to play.

I'm leaning toward making most of these slides from brass.  I really like the look and the tone.

Neat.  Like the barb.  Might be osage orange.
