Phil, its a non porous hard wood like maple. There really is no "early wood" to speak of.
Looks like theres a few bows in that log.

Ya phillip. All those pictures are in my yard. 
 Most of the bow pictures I have posted over the years were taken in my yard.
Last months was across the street a hundred yards by french creek. 
I grew up in the country and I couldnt have it any other way.
