    It's often used in simple jointery.

    Anyone that even knows such a word as anthropomorphized must be very familiar with jointery.

    You can also let the logs sit in the woods for a year or so to possibly get some spalting in it.

    perhaps sycamore. Sycamores have birch like bark, but it large patches of white. The seed balls are about 1 1/4 inch in diameter.

    Thanks! Done. Glad you caught that before I got booted from the Creek. Sorry to anyone that got offended. I hereby retract any statement that caused harm, mental or physical, but my typing error.

    If you can get someone to cut it up, it might be of good use for secondary wood. It's pretty light if it has silver maple heritage. If it's red, it'll be more like cherry in density/strength.

    It looks like a red and silver maple cross or a red maple variety. There's a 1 in ten chance it'll have some curly nature to it. You definitely want to check that out. Some red maples don't turn red. Sometimes it's the tree, sometimes it's the growing conditions. My neighbor has a beautiful red maple that has never turned red - always yellow.
