Carolinian Hardwood

Canada's Carolinian Zone is generally described as the area from Toronto to Sarnia southwards to the north shores of Lake Erie. Here, many species of flora and fauna more common to Georgia and the Carolinas are found. While some are quite common, others are rare and located only in small pockets in more temperate climatic areas, such as Long Point, Rondeau, Niagara-on-the-Lake, etc. Carolinian trees include:
Ash, Basswood, Beech, Black Cherry, Butternut, Cucumber Magnolia, Dogwood, Elm,
Hackberry, the various Hickory species, Hop Hornbeam or Ironwood, Kentucky Coffee Tree,
Locust, Red Mulberry, Nannyberry, the various Oak species, Hazelnut, Ohio Buckeye,
Eastern Red Bud, Sassafras, Serviceberry, Sycamore, Tulip, and Black Walnut

The tree species highlighted in brown are very suitable for woodturning and commonly available. Some of the others are never seen as turning stock and/or are totally unsuitable for turning.
See below for some images showing the various woodgrains.
