So I went back to the magic wood spot where I found the Moraine locust last time (thanks for the help IDing that one), and what did I find but a NEW pile of moraine locust!
After lifting all I could into my pickup, I spotted some of this:

There were pieces of trunk from about 14" to about 18" in diameter. Unfortunately, most of them were 4-6' long, and I could only manage a couple in my pickup by myself. Didn't have the chainsaw with me.
Then I spotted the base of the main trunk. It was on its side, all lumpy, and over 4 FEET in diameter. I looked at the base of the trunk, looked at my Tacoma, looked at the trunk, looked at my Tacoma...
So what do you think it is? The heartwood has a lot of reds and pinks in it.
