Wood ID Help?

[ReggieT]

Hey Guys,

Nabbed these up from a blowdown close to my neighborhood.
The 1st three pics of the reddish big rounds I thought were Cherry, they smell sweet, but lack the dark red heartwood of cherry.
Don't split quite as easy any cherry I've harvested either!
Here are pics of bark, a slabbed split, and the rds.

The other three pics of the grey wood looks like some type of oak...pin, scarlet, red..???




Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Reg

Last three look like red oak to me, first ones don't look like anything in my northern climes, is pecan an option?

Good eye there. The last 3 pics of the gray-colored wood did prove to be a red oak hybrid of sorts.
The first big reddish-looking rounds maybe some type of red maple...it split crazy hard even using the Fiskars!

An amazing grasp you have for the obvious.

I like that...it certainly does remind me of some larger Bradford Pear stumps.
Those rascals burn HOT too!

Funny, I was just in Tennessee and was amazed how I could't identify the trees I was walking past. Regions definitely have their own tree species. Obvious ones I could but most I was stumped!

Eastern Tennessee may have the most tree diversity in North America. Especially the lower slopes of the Smokies.

Yes, in my 11 yrs there I have not been able to get to know them all. Amazingly beautiful area!
