    I agree with the others that’s Red Oak for sure. Find a lot of those dead standing around here not sure what caused the spotting, maybe a fungus??

    The bark looks like red oak, but geez it looks like they've been mangled in some heavy duty equipment.
    The heartwood doesn't look very red. Pin oak ? Camera ? My eyes ?

    My work does a forestry thing and they level any trees that are leaning over onto another tree or any that are dead, give it like an open look, so every year there's a bunch there. So alot of times i run into some dead wood but, its free, its cut into rounds, cant beat it lol im at the hospital now (wife being induced) so ill split a piece and post a pic when i get a minute free haha
