My first thought was, like Teemu's, that it is a pine, perhaps <em>Pinus thunbergii</em> or <em>P. densiflora</em> but, as Grandma Friedl says, we need more evidence !

(Only coming from fallen trees, of course) I've carved some whimsical birdhouses, etc. from it and it carves easily, almost like soap. It does tend to chip off in flakes if the knife catches it wrong. Jeff, do try to get photos of the leaves/needles, branch structure or something for a better identification. Maybe we'll hear from Peter. That bark reminds me of the bark of the Cottonwood tree of the Dakotas that is so favored by woodcarvers.

We have pine trees in Finland and they all have that nice bark on them. But those pines that we have dont have so big craks... Looks like pine.
