So I'm getting through the pile of logs from the father-in-law. He cuts dead/diseased/down/nuisance trees on his property in Western Michigan and brings them to me in 20' logs so I have a pretty good mix. Lots of oak and locust, but this one I'm not sure about - it's very heavy, the back of the Fiskars barely dents the wood, it splits OK but not really cleanly along the grain, has a faint white cambium layer, varigated bark with light and darker gray, and is almost bumpy though it's not quite like the muscle appearance of American Hornbeam. Any suggestions?
