Looks kinda like muscle wood. Leaves are way different, and it apperantly isn't as gnarly as muscle wood. I hope it works out for ya.
jkekoni:
I think they will check and split if dried as round.
I would paint the ends ASAP.
Then I would work the thickness to somewhere around the final thickness. and use c-clams to clamp the to something non bending.
Then I would cover them with newspaper and leave them to dry.
I am not sure if the best would be to dry them with bark on, or bark off.
DanaM:
I sealed the ends with glue but they will have to wait to split them no time now.
I have them stored in a cool place. I also took a piece about 18" long and stripped the bark off I want
to see if that checks. I think this stuff is going to be like v maple as it looks like its gonna have tension wood on one side.
