Default Dead Standing Timber

turn as is?

Just depends on how dry it actually is. Until you cut into it there's
not really any way to know. I suspect that if it's dry enough that you
don't need to treat it, that it's already checked. If it's still solid,
I'd treat it like green wood. Be a shame to put a bunch of sweat into
it now then lose it down the road.

What kind of wood is it?
