Yes. The heartwood is nice enough. Lightweight, soft, greenish yellow
color, very fine-grained details that glitter slightly [iridescence?]
and some minor chatoyance. The sapwood checked horribly, but the
heartwood dried well, and rather quickly. Probably too soft for any
practical applications, but okay for an "object". I think exposure to
sun would turn it a rusty red color...

Doubtless not everyone's cup of tea, but for free, you might.
