I have some hickory that might fit the bill, it still has the bark on, was cut in January but has been stored in my shop that is a constant 55% rh.  I can look through it and take some photos tonight and you can see what you think.

Cesar,
Here is what I have it is 72" long 3.5" wide across the split at the small end, 5" across at the big end, 2" thick at the small end and 3" thick at the big end.  It is a half log and weighs 18.5#, its a monster.  It does have 2 knots I have tried to show them in the photos and it has a little twist but not much.  Take a look at the pictures and see what you think.

Thanks for posting the pictures autologus. I dont think I can use the piece because of the high crown and the sideways bend. I really appreciate it though.
