    All bucked up using the snappy XS Jonsered 2150/353. There are actually two mystree species here. The one with bright orange heartwood I’m still unsure of, but there’s a second one that has light colored wood all the way through. I’m going to call that some kind of pear. The way it split and the grain was reminiscent of Bradford pear, but this is probably the edible variety. It wasn’t nearly as brittle. It has a mildly sweet aroma.
