I picked up this nice little pile in new jersey along side of the road thanks to PSEG they cut it in nice size pieces that was to good to resist. I did leave some big pieces for somebody else to muscle into there truck. I think it to be red oak what do you guys think.

Can't tell for sure, but the bark kinda looks like hickory does here down south where I live.
 
No clue but i'm thinking it's not Red Oak. The different stages of bark on oaks confuses me but I've been burning mostly red oak and have not seen that bark yet. The profile also looks more "shaded" then the red I've been burning.
 
I wood guess maple ?
 
sugar or norway, maple that is
 
Looks like norway
 
+1 for maple. +1 for norway variety
 
Do I need to pile on? It looks like a lot of the rounds that I see recently cut and stacked around here, which are most likely Maple!
 
Maple I would say.
 
oak would be more likely to have two color meat.
the two pieces at the back of the pile look like maple.
The bark does get coarse as the tree matures.

Still a good score.
Worth stopping for.
 
Wow - nice score. Isn't free wood great!
 
In keeping with the usual response . . . ash . . . definitely white ash. ;) :)


OK fine print here . . . Just kidding. This is most definitely not white ash.
 
I'd say Norway Maple.

Why of course not ... it's redd ash
 
I would say Norway Maple as well although the wood is a bit darker that what I have seen.

I was thinking the same thing, but I just split some and it got wet and turned a little orange like that. Once it dries it will blind you in the sun:)
