I know you can tell cedar by taking a piece off with a knife. If it is reddish in color, avoid it.

And pine is usually knotty.

Almost impossible to say but I'd guess Tupelo root.

Definitely not cedar. Might be cypress. Hard to tell. Can you take a pic of its base? I can tell more from that. Also, you will need to boil it to kill the fungus growing on it.

I bake mine at just above boiling point temp 215℉-220℉ for several hours, as well.
