Pleased Identify This Wood

[dave schiller]

Good idea, Rings. Shoulda included that in my list of characteristics to consider for identification.:p

SoCal, my comments about tree id in your area assumes that you are in the LA area, the epicenter of southern California (in my mind). Here are a couple of links to sites about vegetation there.

In this, scroll down to the end and read about riparian vegetation. That's about the only place in the area where native hardwood trees grew/grow.

The second link is an interesting general read.

You are right I’m in LA. San Gabriel Valley to be specific.

I know tree places sell not give wood away but it’s all over the yard so the owners may throw me a few bones but I’m convinced now it’s cedar and not worth trying.
