Red oak. See the faint light colored radial lines on the end grain? Those are found on all oak species.
Sheesh you think I would have known better after splitting red oak the last two days! I think the darker color and size are what threw me. Thanks for the tip, I had forgot to check that first.
Wow lots of new stuff today. Looks like more silver maple, ash and pine. Let me know if I am overlooking anything cool
dammIT! Left the hackberry in the garage too long. Is this green stuff mold or oxidization? Guessing it wouldn’t hurt if it was to be firewood but it may have ruined my plans to smoke with it
Almost looks like burr oak…. How about a clear closeup shot of the end grain? I believe that’s what Eric VW would ask for if he were here
You may be on the right track, are those medullary rays I see? The other dead tree next to it was red oak for sure
Yes. Definitely white oak species, I’m saying burr oak for now based on what’s in your area. It’s not regular white, that I’m certain of.
