    Plum looks like raw bacon when fresh cut and split. It then seasons to a tannish- salmon color.

    Same split, a couple days later. Pretty dramatic color change. IMG_20170823_33174.jpg

    I'm still thinking some type of ornamental cherry or plum. I've made pistol grips out of orchard plum trees and they don't look anything like that. I split some weird nusury cherry out of a classy subdivision front yard that looked a lot like that.

    That's the heartbreak, I'll probably never find another stick of it again.

    You and me both, I've never paid a penny for wood since 1982. Saws and tools, well that's another thing.:saw:
