Could it be a sycamore?

I think it's some kind of Ash. Big, broad, shiny green leaves- sawtooth
edged. Sort of grey bark. I've noticed that it leafs later than many other
trees in this area. We have really crappy soil- lots of clay. Got another
tree like it close to the house- stout trunk, but not all that tall. I
never
paid them much mind, before this.

There are trees that normally shed portions of their bark. Can you
describe
this tree. Maybe someone can identify it.

I have a tree that has shed portions of it's bark- lower limbs,
mostly,
and
some on the trunk. I don't think the tree can live long like that. Of
course, it could be a lot tougher than I give it credit for- it's a
hardy
survivor of many harsh winters, bark or not. Is there something on the
market which will seal raw wood, until the tree can heal/form new
bark?
Thanks
