Oak ??...leaf pic added

[Beer Belly]

They have been doing tree trimming in my area, and I've had little luck in getting whats being dropped. Here is some of what I've been able to get. I'm thinking first is Maple, and 2 pictures of Oak.

The first picture is definitely maple.

I don't think the 2nd and 3rd are oak - too much sapwood. Maybe aspen??

Aspen ???....junk ???

Looks like Maple to me

The bark in third pic looks poplar-ish. Any leaves we can see?

 

[cuttingedge]

First pic is Maple, second and third looks like Tulip or Sasafrass to me. I could tell by smelling them

First pic looks like maple the is some sort of cottonwood or poplar. To make sure I would ask the guys who are doing the trimming.

Aspen/Poplar is ok, just burns faster. I would burn it.

I think the second and third picture are Sassafras. Could possibly be some type of hickory, perhaps Pignut, but I think Sassafras. There is nothing wrong with Sassafras as firewood, but it isn't as dense as oak, that is for sure.

I agree the first picture is Maple. I can't tell Red Maple from Silver Maple or Sugar Maple without a leaf.

Keep on scrounging! I have collected many cords of wood an armful at a time.

There is still some left by the road.....may take a ride past there on the way to work and grab a few more pieces.....and get a look at the leaf on the tree....these are branches, the tree is a pretty good size.

Definitely not Oak.....

Cottonwood

 

[Applesister]

For those bottom pics. The top, dunno

Aspen?

 

[Applesister]

Yeah, could be. I believe they hybridize.
Quaking Aspen, the shape is more Aspen but the bottom of the leaf margin is Cottonwood.
The logs look like Cottonwood, Ive cut some down around my horsebarn. I have quaking aspen, big tooth aspen and eastern cottonwood all growing within 50' of each other. A good study on those famous fluttering leaves.

The top pic? I cant really see it that good on phone. It looks kind of maple-ish.

All looks like firewood to me........

First picture is Oak, the second and third is Large Tooth Aspen,
