growth rings on BL should favor the late growth rings as much as possible over the early growth rings. As long as you heat the belly, I don't think you need the heartwood.. The one I've tried is almost without any heartwood at all, and I would definately try it for a 140#'er. Might be the heartwood is better in compression, but I've never had BL with heartwood to try :)

once i check this tree and make sure it will work, if i get allot of stave's, we might be able to make a trade so you can try tome heart wood, but i'm not exactly sure of the condition inside as some of the trees near it had ant problems, i really hope this one doesn't ;D
