Calling my name

[Lowtech]

I've been driving past this tree since Sandy, it's what's was left after the rest of it was cleared from the road. It's kind of a busy road, so I had to park a few yards away(by the way the Subaru in the picture is mine not the pickup). I guess it to be 18" - 24" and 12' + long, can anyone help with an ID

End grain & bark looks like White Oak.

 

[Jack Fate]

Burnable hardwood.

 

[Wood Duck]

I think it is White Oak.

 

[tfdchief]

Sure looks like it could be white oak.

+1 on white oak

nice for dead of winter if you can put it aside and let it age like a fine wine

 

[Jack Fate]

Or ageing like a strong stout ,actually a good analogy ,generally needs 3 good years of proper care.

Cheers

I guess it will have to wait join 3/4 of a cord of red oak I almost done splitting. With that said I think I'll just stack the rounds to split later and stay on the prowl for wood I can burn in the next two winters.

It's really amazing how true this is.
I have been working through I large vein of cherry and maple in my shed, for over a month just scattered oak. Yesterday I got tired of it and brought in a load of oak. I had forgotten how much longer the oak burns. I was hardly suffering with the cherry/maple but the less frequent loading is nice.

Yeah, seasoned oak beats out maple and cherry pretty good. I cannot wait for all my oak to be properly seasoned. Life will be good then.

Ooh, Ooh, I know.
Firewood.
Shouldn't take long to get that. Don't let someone else get it.
We'll wait for the pics.

White Oak!

 

[lukem]

White oak, for sure. It will burn great in 3 years.

 

[Flatbedford]

I'll jump on the White oak bus. Get that Red Oak split ASAP. It won't really start drying until it is split.

Should be "Gottenwood" by now
I'm with the white oak crowd.
