Hackberry is in the Elm family which as spiral grain.  It can present a challenge drying flat but it is very purdy stuff:

Hackberry grain is usually straight, but can have interlocked grain (like elm) which makes it harder to split. Spiral grain is a bit different in characteristics than interlocked grain. But may cause drying frustration.

Thanks for the grain correction beenthere.    Hackberry is not a species that I often saw.

My phone is still occasionally ringing (one today) but there are no customers ready.  There are 9 on the schedule.
