Verify white oak?

I usually come across red oak, but this is the first time I think I have come across white oak. I have searched some other posts, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance.

I am not an east coast guy and have never cut a hickory, but that looks to be some sort of hickory.

x3 on the Shagbark Hickory call. Here's some that I cut recently. Brutally hard, heavy wood, and packed with BTUs.

I guess the jury is in! Thanks for the responses. Now I wish I had more of it. I can't remember where I scrounged it from.

You should hire a hypnotist to help you remember. That's good stuff!

Hickory will typically have a distinctive, strong, funky smell, totally unlike white oak, which has a smoother aroma (think bourbon).

Agreed, Shagbark.

Interesting. I didn't find it to be that strong smelling. The red oak I split I find to be smelly; Unless that is actually white oak that I believe to be red because of the interior color

You can smell white oaks sweet vanilla like odor from acros the yard. Shaggy has a mich diff odor but i dont find it that strong. Mine has an earthy/buttery/savory type of smell. Hard to describe but nothing like oak. That bark is 100% though.
