Pulled a monster tree out of the creek today and it has major mineral staining. The coloration makes it difficult to determine whether it is Walnut or River Birch or Sycamore. My guess is river birch. It was a huge tree that should yield some very interesting wood.

Just happened to be floating by, eh? :-)) Nice salvage operation. Hope you figure out what it is so you know what you are working with. -- "some old things are lovely, warm still with life ... of the forgotten men who made them." - D.H. Lawrence |

Cut it today and it was red river birch. The heart was solid red and when exposed to the air turned a silver blue black. It is beautiful and I will post a picture tomorrow. I have never seen mineral stained wood that is blue grey. -- Kyle Edwards, http://www.sawmillnc.com, Iron Station , NC (near Charlotte) |
