    Looks like red oak. Great firewood. Give it least two years to dry, ideally three. Takes longer than most woods to season. The sapwood likes to sprout fungi if not well protected from the weather.

    Welcome to the FHC woodnut :handshake: Great to have you!

    Red oak, or more likely is probably a pin oak, which is a type of red oak.

    Welcome to FHC. If you don't have one. Might want to pick up a moisture meter.

    Welcome to the club. Lots of great folks here sharing knowledge and humor. That sure looks like red oak to me also. Great wood, just let it dry.
