Oh ok. It's a lot different than our mesquite.  Excellent find.
I was HECHO EN MEXICO, but assembled in Texas and I'm Texican as the day is long...  Psalm 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Everything about that log says juniper to me.  The sniff test will tell the story though.  If you lightly sand it and smell the wood it'll either smell like...well...cedar or it will make you hungry for pit BBQ.  LOL!  Either way, back it and make a bow.  Josh
