locust

Honey Locust, like the Black Locust has very distinct tree rings and a decent difference between the heartwood and the sapwood.  The smooth wood tone of the sapwood contrasting against the golden heartwood makes for an exemplary base for your ogre, treant, troll or other giant-sized minion.  The pieces are roughly 3.5 inches long by 3 inches in width and 3/8 of an inch thick (89mm x 76mm x 10mm).
