Wood ID

[mpaul]

Just received a load of mixed hardwoods dropped off from the local tree service. Always love getting free wood! But have to admit, I'm horrible and identifying what kind of wood it is. Can anyone help me determine what kind of wood I just had dropped off? Note the leaves on the ground are from trees in my yard not from any of these logs.

These are WAGs for the most part;
Pic 1: Cherry, bottom center. Sassafras toward the top with the deeply furrowed bark.
Pic 2: I think some Maple, and Sass with the orange underbark. Sass has unique fragrance when cut or split.

That one with the dark center and wide rings should be an easy ID for someone..

appreciate that. Never burned sassafras or cherry yet. See a lot of posts around here about both of these. This will all go into my third year pile. Should all be good by then.

Believe I also have some chestnut oak in this mix?

Get a well-lit closeup of the end grain, maybe we can see the rays that would indicate Oak..
