Thanks,

By the way, I love everything this site has to offer.
 
Looks just like the red oak with borer holes that the carpenter ants like so much that I have so much of.
 
Get as much as you can, red oak is good stuff
 
I think all the previous posts are right, it is Red Oak.
 
The pics are from a different trees. Are they both red oak?
Either way I am going to clean his yard up! He's got more trees he will be removing and said I can have what I want...Awesome.
 
the 2nd pic is fer sure red oak......I not so sure on the first one.
 
Both are red oak
 
I'm not convinced that the first is red oak.
 
Here is the 1st pic.

This one doesn't look like oak. Is it Elm? The bark looks like elm to me, but I am not sure about the wood.
 
Not Elm either.
 
that is not red oak or ash. I am not sure what it is.
