Anyone know this?

Large ring, a mate wants it for a garden table - but doesn't know what tree it is and how long to season it

 

Cut down today

 

Any ideas??

Its a lump of hybrid pop and thats not the first choice........

 

If is outdoors it will be seasoned when the bark has fallen of and the table has developed a large radial crack and that huge sapwood area has a colony of fungi:laugh1:
