Yup, that there be red maple. We cut and burn a lot of it, grows like weeds around here. It's decent firewood.

I cut up and split a lot of Red Oak and that surely is not Red Oak.

Sorry it's maple. Hey it seasons twice as fast as red oak

Thats not red oak. Just remember this, red oak has a pungent stink, kinda like sweaty butt hole.
