It's an oak. The bark puts it in the red oak family, but the wood color does not look like the northern red oak that I cut here in Michigan.
Looks a lot like basswood I see around here. Basswood is a funny tree in that it has at least 3 very different types of bark depending on the age...
For those who have used the IBC totes, what did you do with the plastic jugs of bottles as they call them in the industry? I cut up about 20 with...

Looks identical to medium sized basswood trees that' I've cut. Not great firewood, but dries fast and smells good when burning. Good for a...
Any help with an ID on this wood? I will get a bigger piece and better photos if necessary. It's winter dormant here in SE Michigan so no...
Forgot the Chinkapin... If you're wondering why I cut them so thin, try splitting 25-30"+ diameter white oak rounds cut 18-20" thick. I have...
White oak (Bur - 140 year old, 54" DBH and Chinkapin - 100 year old - 40" dbh). 8 cords total from 2 massive trees. Anyone else notice that...
