Let me preface by saying i didn't just go cut down some random tree to carve with. This particular tree was halfway chewed down by a beaver ( there are lots of trees that beavers have chewed down where i live and have been sitting in the woods for a while so i thought i would make use of one, Im not quite sure what kind of tree this is though. It is quite soft, and the bark peels off in strips. The dead inner bark where the tree was chewed on was quite fiberous. Quite like a tulip poplar. I could not find any tulip poplar leaves on the ground though. If anybody could help me identify this i would be very thankful, Though I'm not quite sure if anybody will be able to identify this any help would be much appreciated. - Thanks
