Hoping someone can tell what species this is...
Yes, bar-top epoxy.Are these cookies coated with something like bar top epoxy? They appear to be. I have no clue about their id.
It’s not pine. This wood is as hard as a rock. I should have noted that on the first post. My first thought was also pine, but there is no way - this is way too hard...
Agree especially if it is old growth
Southern yellow pine.Ok then. Must be pine. This was growing real close to a river. I wonder if that makes a difference. What is SYP?
I agree. Looks more like sweet gum to me.Although looking back at the pictures, you dont see many pine trees with 2 piths....
Bark looks like Loblolly Pine.
