yep, definitely sumac. lovely stuff and i've just got my hands on a small tree that grew over the road. only 7" at best but seeing as i've never had any before its better than none at all. i was gobsmacked at just how much latex oozes out.

If that's not sumac I'll give up wood turning. The pattern and distribution of growth rings, the colour, the narrow band of contrasting sapwood, the bark and even signs of the sticky sap that exudes out of the cambium when it's cut. Absolutely no doubt in my mind.

top photo and bottom photo on RHS are unquestionably sumac (Ive turned loads of it). sticky when wet, but well worth it!
