Hey Urban,
     If your log was here in the Fla panhandle it would look very simular to  poplar. Also, we have a Tupelo Gum and a Black Gum but I've never heard of them being one in the same. Local names seem get stuck and pass from generation to generation. I could be right or wrong.........No tellin'.  Did you ask Swampdonkey yet?

Speaking of Hurricane Dennis, looks like I got the worst of both ends. I moved out of the panhandle at the end of May, but I still have a house on the market in Navarre. Haven't got word yet on what it looks like. I was at least hoping for a little rain up here. Now that I'm in northwest Louisiana, I find I'm in the middle of a drought. Gotta water the yard every Dang day. Dennis dumps too much water on one house and none on the other.

Iain,
I gotta ask........it looks like three different pieces of wood, right?
How did you go about matching the joints?
