The bottom one I presume? It isn't the same kind of wood

One of the red oaks

I believe my Cherry-loving woodburning friend is correct, some sort of Oak....Top one could be a Maple of some sort?

Ok, well that confirms what the guy told me about the top one and proves he was wrong on what all he brought me.

So is the maple a hard maple?

Could be Norway maple. Don't you have a bark pic for us? How about a fresh split?

I do not have any fresh split pics it's been split for a year, there is not any I have seen with bark on it still, it is Indiana wood if it matters.

I burned a piece of Norway maple last night that looked exactly like your first picture, no two snowflakes may look the same but 2 pieces of different maples can...
