    Any tips for telling difference between oak and ash?

    Any tips for not having your pictures rotate when you upload?

    One log looks like red oak. The reddish wood.
    The lighter colored wood looks like ash. They both split easy. That’s a nice load of logs for sure.

    One red oak; top right. Look at the bark.

    Oak has very pronounced/visible to the naked eye medullary rays.
    Oak also has a unique smell.

    In that pic, top right is the red oak.


    I used to have to do the <edit, rotate, save> routine with portrait pics taken with a Canon Elph camera, or they would post "sideways" .

    Exactly.

    Ash is great wood, and it will be ready much sooner than the oak will. So it's good that you got more ash than oak.
