Default Dead Standing Timber

Kevin,
It's mostly Oak with some Osage Orange mixed in.

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?
