    Well THAT should be a bit better on the old back - better than lugging all that hardwood around!

    As you say - nice colours and textures.

    It was a backyard tree that had most likely done it tough during its growing years...it was growing in fairly hard ground ...not sure of the species though...MM

    From the photos in the original post it doesn't look like a Fortunaie. I don't know what the bark on the other species look like so can't identify this tree.

    Looking at the bark it has to be Tormentosa...MM
