    So, they're clearing out a wooded area about 2 miles from my house. I asked the guys a couple of days ago if I could take some of the wood. They said, "Take all you want", so the trees are about 100 ft or so from the road, but today I went and got a bunch of it. I'll probably go back for more. Just looking for an id. There were different types of trees, but the one with the darker center and lighter colored wood around the edge seems to be the most.

    Here's my best guess. The wild cherry Im 100% sure on.

    1. Wild black cherry
    2 Pignut Hickory
    3 Pin cherry or Beech
    4 Oak
    5 ?

    #3 you should be able to tell by the smell
