Leo,
Looking at your page, I noticed "acer negundo" on one of the pictures,
but it looks like a picture of carob (Ceratonia siliqua). There is no
way that red wood is a boxelder maple.

On the other hand, I have turned a LOT of carob, from at least four or
five different carob trees, and that red stuff there sure looks
exactly like carob.
