I slabbed this log for a customer on Saturday. I have never seen anything like it. It is very light on the outside and nearly back in the center. I cut these at Claytor Lake, VA which is about 30 miles due north of Mt. Airy, NC as the crow flies. I didn't get a good pic of the bark, but the slab in the bottom left of the picture under the cherry slab is from the same tree and you can see the bark. The bark was lightish gray, not smooth but not rough either. Anyone know what kind of tree this was from?
