I acquired a log today but have no clue what it is. Anyone care to guess ?

No idea, but very unique for sure,  I might suggest laying them on a 45 degree for another, different look,  david

And many imaginitive names, too.

Is it good for anything?

Yes, its biggest value is the aesthetics of that red substance in it. The more the red, the better off you are. Other than that, it makes second-rate firewood or pulp. With the red, though, you've got some beautiful pieces, and the red color will not fade very quickly compared to some kinds of wood. You could use those disks for clock faces, and it looks very nice milled into lumber, too.
