Absolutely not, not even close.
I'm with Leon, et al. It's ash. My experience with ash is that it is VERY yellow.
Wood ID help?

Much too hard to be butternut.

Borrowed a blacklight this afternoon, and planed a small patch of one board. With the board illuminated only by the blacklight, yellow-green fluorscence is plainly visible.
Coffeetree it is!

I've been carting it around the country with me for a long time [*]. It came with eight, 7-8' maple 2x10s, complete with tap holes (haven't figured out what to do with it but it's purdy).
[*] Grown on a cow-orker's father's place in Alpena MI (*way* up on the hand). I brought it back to NY. It followed me to Vermont, Ohio, Alabama, and now Georgia. ;-)
Some comments about Osage: I think it would be rare for an osage tree to be large enough for a 9" (+?) wide board, especially of any good length. The bark doesn't look like os age, either.

A friend had made a shaving horse with osage, left it raw, not finished. He simply burnished it, resulting in a really smooth surface. The aged pa tina looked really nice, sort of turned a hint of brown, somewhat, kinna li ke as if it was slightly fumed.

Wow! Good call! How close was that board to a nuclear plant? '`)
