Musclewood to the rescue!

Carpinus Caroliniana

When I first saw this Musclewood in my neighbor's back yard I just knew I would have to photograph it. After receiving a few odd glances from my neighbors due to me having forgotten to change out of my bathrobe, I decided it would be best to take my picture quickly and leave. The tree is native to eastern North America. Because the wood is heavy, it is often used for tools, walking sticks/canes, and even longbows.
