The twigs appear to be opposite rather than alternate, which would rule out oak and black locust. Hard to tell for sure from the picture though. Might be a gnarly white ash. If it's in fact alternate, I would guess black walnut.

What happened to the old guys who could tell just by the bark?
Grandpa used to be able to tell based on the bark what it was, if it was a native tree that is for sure.
For the record, I have no clue.
Black or European walnut were my guesses but pictures leave a lot to be told. Pretty much have to lay a hand on the bark to be sure.
Chinquapin oak.?
My guess is black walnut!
MC
black walnut.
Locust.
Yes maybe black locust rather than a bur oak.
The flowers will tell soon.
black locust = white flowers
oak = yellow flowers

You really can't often reliably ID a tree species from the outer bark alone. Bark structure changes with the age of a tree. Take a look at any young aspen and compare it to an older tree. Same with maples and white pine. One of the exceptions would be some species of ash.
Could be an English Walnut , as it is a single tree, looks like one a friend has, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...srinde-alt.jpg
