still not positive on this log, but its looking more like hackberry to me with these latest pics, all the hackberry I've worked with at all, even fairly young fresh cut healthy trees, have a pale white almost grayish look to the wood as opposed to the more common yellowish glow of most white woods, and also hackberry has medium gray spots in it, big streaks or blobs of grey that just seem randomly distributed thru the log. you might check out my thread ive got a hackberry Ku going with more greenish spalting at the ends and a bit of the grey black streaks like yous in it thru the middle but if yours has large random areas of gray like the sides of my Ku's chin it may just be hackberry.

oh by the way looking good, can't wait to see all that spalting all cleaned up.
