Another Wood ID

Howdy Studs!

Been a minute since I've posted, due to my Pa's health, but I'm trying to get set for winter.

Wood donor swears its White Oak. I haven't harvested enough White Oak to really know.

Black, Burr, Live??
I'm lost as a goose in high wind!🦆🦆🦢
What say ye??

Thanks

Closed end grain cells would be able to tell you if its white if memory serves. But then again once I know its some form of oak that's good enough for me.

Split a round, if it's stringy could be white oak, doesn't look it though.

Bark does not quite match the white oaks we have in the northeast. Tough to tell from photos though. It can be a bear to split.

Yours may be black oak. We don’t have those around here though.


This is a big white oak in my front yard

White oak. Looks beautiful. I am envious.

Here some splits pics.
Split pretty decent not easy, yet not to beastly. The Fiskers could stand an edge....

Its definitely Chestnut oak ... part of white oak family and easy ta split

Appreciate cha!
One feller said, "Red Oak", but it smells wayyyy too good for Red Oak! LOL

 

[Eman85]

Red oak smells good, peel some bark and see if it's orange under the bark. Definitely not white the way that split.

 

[MRD1985]

Definitely not red Oak. I still say the bark is too coarse for it to be white oak.

If it is chestnut oak, Merry Christmas. Very high BTU value. I just split up 2 Nissan truckloads of chestnut oak a few months ago, I love that stuff.
