    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.

Let me know if I am overlooking anything cool B31B521B-1162-4DFA-AF3D-CFB7D2747D41.jpeg 683C8E2D-0AAD-4A62-BFD9-C0CC89406A22.jpeg B94C5EB3-4A58-40CB-A86C-41D21641BDBF.jpeg 714468D9-56D4-4D5E-B367-F8174ACC5F01.jpeg 85528775-A893-472D-9A75-7AE4E2655590.jpeg CE1D727E-809E-4215-B64B-16234751E47F.jpeg

    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

    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.
