Well, I was chopping down some trees in the backyard yesterday along the fenceline, and one of them was a big Sumac tree. Must have been 20 feet tall and a 8 inches around at the base of the trunk of the tree. I got her down , but the tree split as I was cutting it. Now, when it split, it show some pretty good figure in the center of the log where is broke off as I was cutting it . (Not to self, don't use a Reciprocating saw to chop down a tree!! ) looked a lot like a cross between Elm and Red oak for the grain figure. The color of the wood inside a nice olive green color.
Is this wood good for anything ? Turning ?????
Is it toxic to turn ???
