Pick up this item today and not sure what will become of it! Know it has been sitting on side of road infront of land being cleared for construction for about a month. Hasn't been sealed and whish they had left both ends about 12 inches long. So once figure out what to do will post pictures if worth showing.

Don't know the species haven't looked up yet and honestly don't really care right now. Tried spliting with gas chain saw yesterday but couldn't get it running. So broke out my electric 16" WorX, wedges, and small sledge hammer and had a go at it. Can see why want a gas chain saw from my hack job splitting but that little electric saw, wedges and hammer saved my bacon.

Rought turn small candy dish yester day from the skinny side of the log. This other side full of ants so after bug spray will wait a day, flush with water then turn other half.

the big bulge along the log is a tree cancer and normally it is discarded due to degradation of the wood it causes and this can be the reason it layed abandoned aside the road.
the log seems a piece of fir or some other resinous conifer considering also the thickness of the bark, but difficult to say from "here". good luck !

After looking at my Audubon tree field guide my best guess is "Tupelo Gum." I definitely know it not fir or some other form of conifer by leaves still attached to that small branch. Not sure why by cannot see blackberry picture on photobucket, but didn't think it was that. Gents am comfortiable not knowing the species of wood am dealing wih.
