Dear Fluff, how's about hop-horn-beam-ironwood, its like bean poles in our 
maple bush, can't find a tougher stronger wood. As far as purty goes, most 
any tree at that young age will be all white sap wood. Because of its 
cross-grain nature it's miserable to drawknife though--which makes it so 
good and knarly tough.  Mn.D
