Firewood addiction

Jeff, what ID is this wood?
- top 2 biggest logs on pic 1
- top 2 biggest logs on pic 2 (I'm guessing white oak, gorgeous whatever it is)
- pic 3 logs

We have similar climes but I don't recognize pic 1 or 3. All of those loads are amazing. What a shame they fall. But you can then do something with them! I wonder how much goes to waste in a storm like that. I cleaned up a lady's tract one time after a tornado and that took awhile. Some of it was too dangerous, gorgeous bit trees going every whichaway. One would need a big trackhoe or something to push stuff down and not get killed in the process.

 

Pic 1 is all hickory. Either Pignut or Bitternut
Pic 2 top logs are white oak, swamp white oak, I think.
Pic 3 is all red oak from a different place we worked on after Hurricane Helene.
Still have trees on both places to get.

 

Gotta say that Jeff and Miz Carol are always "Gittin It Done" with the firewood 'Down in Dixie"! All that firewood cutting and He still squeazes in a side job at the Kaolin Plant!

 

It's interesting how we have similar climes, similar tree species, but your tree bark (pics 1 and 3) does not look identical to ours. Of course, the white oak in pic2, I had white oak right but knew even it looked very different and that is because it is swamp white oak, which I have never seen here.

 

Yes sir, so many varieties. Mockernut hickory bark looks almost like pecan. And I've seen many different kinds of white oak too.

 

my friend. I need to do an update on that thread...
