The tree had large branches going along the ground then coming up later. Very strange to cut. Just cut the down and ground stuff so far.
Looks like it might be flamed box elder... If it looks exceptional when you open up one of those rounds, you might consider selling some of it to a woodworker for turning stock. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...lamed+box.TRS0&_nkw=flamed+box+elder&_sacat=0
I'll have to keep my eyes open for nice looking ones like the eBay links. We've got tons of box elder here. My oldest brother being an "arrrteeest" might actually help out in this case.
