    At first glance I'm thinking it's Hophornbeam. Did you say the wood was heavy for its size?

    Around that time Hemlock was used extensively as we would use spruce/pine/fir today. It usually has fairly prominent growth rings which appears to be the case on the end grain in your picture. ...

    Ray, I believe you're correct. I just went out and looked at mine. The fence is mounted in the lower holes and the upper holes are centered about 1/2" higher.
