    I don't think that's oak -unless it had a distinct red oak smell

    red oak has a pungent smell to it(some like the smell others hate it) it really isn't a cat urine smell but that is what it is typically likened to.
    Red oak would have a dark pith(like yours has) but the entire heart wood would have a darker color and then 1/2-1" sap wood in lighter color

    Yours looks a bit more like mulberry - a guess anyways

    Doesn't look like oak to me, growth rings are way too big. Scrounged in The Bronx means a city tree which easily could be who knows what species of non-native or hybrid nursery stock that was transplanted.

    Not oak, almost looks kinda like pignut hickory. Can't tell real good because I'm on my phone....

    Either way, I'm envisioning a guy frantically cutting up pieces of wood in the Bronx in scrubs with a chainsaw and I'm :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::thumbs:
