I thought this 18" diameter log was oak - it had no bark and was soaking wet from laying on the ground for no telling how long. After bucking I saw how dark it was and figured it was a water-logged cherry since there were other cherry logs nearby. But it stayed dark after splitting and the surface drying. I assume walnut but it still has a lot of deep crimson coloring in it.
Well aged cherry on the right, mystery wood middle and left.
