It's a hardwood with thick bark and no smell. Thank you. Attachments IMG_20211208_222238727_HDR.jpg 1.6 MB · Views: 51 IMG_20211208_222217010.jpg 1.9 MB · Views: 54

Photos of the wood's sanded flatsawn , edge grain and end grain surface would be helpful Color-wise it resembles Cascara which has bark of "average thickness" for a PNW native hardwood
