Need wood ID help

[mstoelton]

Need help to ID this tree. Dead and cut when I scrounged it. Rounds are huge ~400-500 lbs each. It took 2 of us to roll them onto trailer.

Bark looks like red oak. Ive never seen it rot from the inside out. Usually the sapwood gets punked away nd you are lfet with the inside.
But if they sat somewhere in big rounds...maybe.

It looks like some kind of Oak to me; whack one in pieces and post a picture of the grain please....

Oak bark.

It was standing dead and cut down into rounds 2 days ago. I scrounged it from the tree service that didn't want to handle the giant rounds.

Will try to split some off tonight. Tried last night and the X27 just bounced off!

Bark looks like pin oak, but the heartwood doesnt. Split pics will help

Here is a picture of the split log.

One easy way for me to ID oak wood is cuts and splits will smell like oak boards at the lumber yard. No other wood in my region smells like it.

This is a good way to ID oak. Red smells like vinegar, white smells a little less like vinegar. Pin oak smells like a catbox

That doesn't look like oak to me. Not sure what it is though
