Good Morning Army. Still hobbled, still binge watching 'Counterpart' on Firestick. I only know about this series because I saw an article somewhere that it was being cancelled, and whoever wrote the piece was disappointed. JK Simmons does an excellent "dual lead" role. If you are into spy, espionage, "Berlin Wall" type stuff than this would be interesting. Although there are moments where you wonder "OK, which side is this on ?"
Can I burst a few bubbles here ? In Stone Creek, OH there is a wood smoking facility. Not really sure of the chemicals or procedure, but they take rough cut hardwoods and 'smoke' them to make them appear like walnut, redwood, etc. Then we occasionally bring them to the Carolinas on our backhauls, usually small milling facilities near Hickory and Thomasville. No tarps needed. However this wood is treated must make it moisture resistant. And then the lumber if finish cut and sold by the customer. Because of where we deliver, I can guess who is buying.
Sorry, but you don't always know what you are buying anymore.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)

I think you guys have settled it, Hickory. From what you describe, Walnut it is not.
Very little difference from the outside. You're probably finding out hickory is a tougher cut than oak. :)

Good Morning Army. Thanks for the Bday wishes (really like that picture, David !)
Using into coffee. Mamaw's coffee maker died (we have separate coffee makers) so she's off to Walmart and I have peace and quiet to start my day :D as long as Urlacher doesn't see a squirrel in the yard.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)
