Not sure why the picture is upside down, but super excited about this lumber acquisition. Anyone want to take a guess as to the species?

Be careful when you take a piece off the pile, that it doesn't fall on your head... :D

And keep an eye out for powder post beetles.

If you could take a block plane and knock the exposed material off one end so we could see the end grain we can help more better ;-)

Because the forum software is antiquated. There is an arcane work around to make them show up in the correct orientation, but I can't remember what it is.

Glenn — I know what it is ... more of a challenge for anyone wanting to take a guess
