Guess this tree

[StihlKicking]

I know what this tree is but have never seen the grain when cut long ways. I wanted to see if anyone could guess what it is.

Beautiful looking wood. We had a maple that had a dark core like that. It was so beautiful that I had some bowls made from some nice sections.

Red Oak.

Pecan?

Red Oak.

It's in the red oak family. It's the biggest example of this species I've seen. It was around 4' at the stump and about 70' high. The log in the picture is just a branch that measured about 2' across.

This is a picture from google but they are the same as the leaves on the tree I cut. Sawtooth oak Quercus acutissima in native to parts of Asia but it is widely planted for wildlife applications down here. They will produce acorns at 2 years of age.

Maybe your book is a "Native tree" book?

Audubon Field Guide to North American Trees (Eastern Region) but it also includes some trees that were introduced from overseas.

Try this one
It's one of the best tree books I know of.
I have lots of field guides including, lots of Audubon books.
I find the Audubon books to be amongst the worst when it actually comes to using them in the field.
