You guy's thoughts?

white oak or hickory.

Would err on the Hickory side - doesn't white oak have the same vertical striations as red?

And the oak, even in this state should smell like vinegary wine when freshly split

yep the one split looks like oak to me but I darn sure not the best ID guy! looks like some darn fine hard wood for sure.

Looks like white oak to me.

Thanx guys. I'd be happy with white oak or hickory.

I think that is White Oak. Notice the medullary rays - the rays that you can see on the end of the round in the last picture. Those are, I have learned here, characteristic of oak. The flaky bark seems pretty characteristic of White Oak as well.

Another white oak vote.

Sure looks to have a reddish tinge, How about Red Oak? It's Oak of some type, that's for sure.

Far left pic I can't tell. The one next to it is definitely an oak. 2 on the right are without a doubt white oak based on grain and bark texture.

I'd like to see a few more shots of the bark, but it sure does look like White Oak.
