[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 3081012, member: 20385"] [b]Hmmm...[/b] Now you know why I am posting this thread. The two varieties of "Russian-olive" are like night and day. Unfortunately, I have no leaves at the job site to post. These trees produced a straight-grain wood that's about the same color inside as English walnut--dark brown heartwood and very little sapwood but not quite as dark as black walnut. Splitting seems rather easy, and most of the big rounds are knot free. Odor is rather minimal. I don't think cypress or "false cypress" even grows in Nebraska. This was not intended to be a Wood I.D. post, but now I'm starting to wonder. Maybe it is. :msp_unsure: [/QUOTE]
