Wood ID?

found bout 6 splits of this in my stacks. Have no clue what it is, don't ever remember cutting it. I got some wood from the wife's cousin when he had to move out of his house, it was probably in there. Bark looks a little elmish to me but seems too smooth. Grain is pretty straight, looks mapleish to me. I really have no clue. Burns nice though.

 

Oak?

 

Hmm. Can you whack a piece open so we can see the inside?

Kinda looks red oaky.

Or just throw it all in the stove to get rid of it.

 

I see I'm not the only one thinking that.

 

Split it open and get another pic, then take a sniff. Kinda like a scratch and sniff.
If it's Oak, you'll know.

 

The grain does look like oak to me also but the bark is way off from anything I've ever cut. Could very well be, I haven't seen it all and never will in one lifetime.

Next time I go out I'll split it open.

 

Yep.....choocherize it.

 

That's definitely going to happen, just wanna solve the mystery first.

 

Pug 1?

 

I have seen red oak that looks like that.

Have an end grain pic?

 

looks like an old weathered piece of sugar maple, all day long

 

Hmmm, I'm lost........again.

 

I agree.

 

Yeah, I was lost in that one too. I'm kinda out there, so if you've lost me, that's a feat.

 

Grain pattern could be Oak or SM.....heck, I dunno. I don't run across Sugar much.

 

Sorry, it was a reference to a goof who has a huge you tube channel. His word for smoke is chooch. Should you happen to look for the channel, dont blame for what you find. It's kinda like a bad train wreck. Just sayin.

 

Oh, I know of that guy. Choochin's my game.

 

Grain pattern does look sugary. I have a lot of sugar maple in my woods. But the bark, maybe that piece doesn't represent the sugar maple I'm used to. That's just piece though, so who knows?

 

I would say it's maple.

 

I am on the maple band wagon also
