Hickory ID?

[Brian26]

Just got a cord delivered and my wood guy says its Hickory? Can anyone confirm and if so what type? Thanks.

Most of that looks like the hickory that I have cut/split. I am by no means an expert so take it with a grain of salt.

Looks like hickory to me with lots of white oak mixed in. There are several types of hickory and for heating purposes they are all the same. Now bbq is a different story.

That stuff should burn great in a couple years.

looks like hickory...I don't see any White Oak...

I believe it's hickory as well. Stack it off the ground and keep it top covered if you are seasoning or storing it for more than a year. Hickory rots quickly if left exposed to moisture all the time.

It's hickory alright. There is a shagbark hickory also. Great wood. I really like giving hickory 2 or 3 years. Sunny, windy location.

I see hickory and white oak as well.

I can't tell. Doesn't look like shagbark hickory, but any of them will burn well.

I see some white oak along with hickory too.

Hickory looks like Shagbark.

Got another cord dropped today. The seller said it was a mix of hickory and white oak. I stacked it today and am going to give it at least 2 years to dry out. Thanks guys.

Looks like a pignut hickory
Its hard to tell in the pic..
I dont think is a bitternut hickory

The bark doesn't look like bitternut or pignut. One thing that hickory seems to do is when you peel off a splinter, it doesn't snap right off. It's more like pulling velcro apart if that makes any sense. And it feels slightly springy when you do it.

Split it quick and keep it off the ground at all costs or kiss it goodbye.

Ditto, I’ve had to dispose of a some hickory before due to my negligence in getting it proper ly css in reasonable timeframe. Sad situation.
