I do not see any of the medullary rays on the end of the round like the other oaks I have bucked up. They might be there, just not seeing them.

Thanks,
Bruce

Red Oak
 
It looks like oak to me, but I don't see the medullary rays either.
 
Very light in this one, but I can see some. Red oak rays are not nearly as defined as White Oak.
