Those that attended the Pig Roast will remember that this species is native to every state except probably Hawaii (??) plus all of the Canadian Provinces.  I sawed 6-8 small logs today and the heartwood was incredible.


 
Book matched boards from the pith area.


 
It was prettier away from the pith and the color was much richer.

What say you??

Hmm....... the growth rings are far apart and the sawn surface almost looks like a soft wood.   The little bit of bark you can see looks pretty stringy and redish. 

Not a pine.  Not a cedar.   I want to say poplar or cottonwood but the bark and heartwood is not right.   

Is it a soft wood in unusual soil or growing conditions?    Is it a hardwood that has gotten fertilizer as a yard tree?     Is it dead beatle kill soft wood that has blued (pine)?

I'd say Elm, but around here it's not usually that dark and chocholaty.  It's usually more the color of a chestnut horse, what they call chestnut.

The logs were from fresh felled healthy trees.



 
That should do it.  Both of these logs are the same species.  Some bark is more stringy than others, and some have a more dark chocolate heartwood than others.  It is a "hardwood" but the wood is soft.  ;)
