    One eyed South American tree worker told me it was oak. I thought it was some type of hickory yesterday. Stopped today, it’s wet


    and I think it is some type of Oak. Black maybe? What is it?

    Pin oak! Relatively smooth bark, thick sapwood, and large growth rings. Red oak family.

    X2 on pin. Of all the oaks, this one is my least desireable odor.

    Thanks guys. I swear it looked like a hickory when it was a little drier. I didn’t look very close I guess, was looking at the other trees down.
    So I’ll assume this Pin oak is also called a pizz oak due to its smell
