Thank you so much for the details!1st pic hard maple
2nd pic shagbark hickory
3rd pic maybe red oak a better pic needed to confirm.
Thank you so much I learned a lot!🙏Third pic also maybe black cherry. I’m looking at some splits right now, they even have that white ring around the outside. (Would be less good firewood than if it’s oak, but it will dry faster)

Looks like #3 is red oak to me with a a layer of punk that won't hurt a thing.I attached the photo I took today above ,could you please check it again, thank you![]()
Yep I split a lot of that today, had to cast off the outer 2” of a red oak log 24” diameter 12’ long to the fire pit pile, oak wilt took its toll. Far advanced of OP’s oak, outer 2” was like a sponge.Looks like #3 is red oak to me with a a layer of punk that won't hurt a thing.
Learned thank you!Looks like #3 is red oak to me with a a layer of punk that won't hurt a thing.
My zip code 10940, thank you for your advice.The 3rd piece/extra pics looks like Honey Locust to me. It has that salmon color which is a dead giveaway. I'm not familiar with your area's wood species. So maybe some other woods in your area have that salmon color? Another clue, Honey Locust is dense so the splits will be heavy.
Thank you for your focus!🙏That 3rd looks like the red oak we have here in NJ.
Def. not locust.
🙏thank you🙏The first makes me think of pecan or walnut.
2nd photo looks like pignut hickory.
Third and fourth photos are red oak.
Thank you🙏🏻Similar to some previous calls, I'll go Maple, Pignut Hickory, Red Oak.
