Doesn't look like Red...could be Pin or Black. I'm not sure which other varieties are in the Red group...lukem said:That's one of the red varieties....aka THE slowest seasoning wood known to man

I'm not great when it gets down to the species. I know it is oak...and I know it is not white. Could be black, but I've seen red look like that too.

Usually red will have much deeper cracks in the bark. (more aggressive looking if you will) Darn sure know at the first split though...

Don't disagree, but I have 4 cord of red oak rounds in my yard that look an awful lot like those.

Lukem, I think you have these backwards. The red oak has a smoother bark, black is more furrowed. They are both from the red oak family.lukem said:Here is what I think is a black oak round.

That's what threw me in the OP's pic; I didn't see the broad, flat plates that Red usually shows, at least farther up in the branches...lukem said:Here is what I think is a red oak round.
