I think it probably is. Definitely something in the Red Oak group. Nice score! :coolsmile:Halligan said:Craigslist score. It's about 2/3 cord and has a faint oak smell. After doing some research I'm thinkin pin oak. Would that assumption be correct?
Ralph said:In the Red Oak family, maybe Pin Oak, hard to say without seeing the whole tree. Lots of limbs down lower on the trunk? If yes, most likely Pin Oak. Landscape use, such as front or back yard or commercial building grounds? Most likely Pin Oak. In any event, it's Red Oak and will, in a couple of years keep you toasty! Now quick get split an stacked off the ground! :lol:

with those growth rings it's not that dense.Mr A said:Whatever it is, it looks like a dense hardwood. Is it heavy?
Those rays are sometimes hard to see on fresh cuts. Not saying it's Oak necessarily...bark doesn't seem quite right, and the Oak I've seen is more or less round, not that oddly shaped (ignore my previous post.) :lol:nrford said:NOT Oak, no medullary rays, not for sure what it is not one from these parts but I can assure you it is not an oak of any kind!
Sassafras here has really orange inner bark and different-looking outer bark than seen in the pic. One sniff should tell him weather it's Sass...nrford said:+1TreePointer said:I've never cut one that big, but how about sassafras for some of those rounds?
Ralph said:I've got a pile of black oak that looks a whole lot like what you have, even the bark. I'm sticking with the red oak family. Wow, this is getting fun!
