Tree ID, Please

[CMAG]

The spots look look like blood red
Thanks

 

[PA. Woodsman]

Looks like Cherry to me....

 

[ScotO]

I'm saying cherry too, as far as the splits and a couple of the rounds. But the round in the background of the third picture looks like white oak to me......

 

[CMAG]

Thanks

 

[Nixon]

Yep , looks like Black Cherry. Lve the smell of that stuff !

 

[Jags]

I am down with cherry as well.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Scott spotted the same one I did. One oak in there.

 

[Paulywalnut]

Nice cherry wood. You can give it a whiff. Its sweet smelling.

You're on your game today-it didn't register with me!

 

[CMAG]

Yea my rounds from last year are mixed (live and learn, sorting my wood now)
Anyways another ID the right picture is closer to the true color, the end grain is looks close to the above pic of the cherry.

You must be talking about my OP I will start a new thread for this one.
So, cherry, black cherry, bloody cherry How many cherry trees are there

If you were to re-cut a split, you'd be able to smell that sweet Cherry smell.

There are some different varieties that people plant in their yards, but the most widespread Cherries that grow wild in the woods here are the Black Cherry. They have that rougher bark and will bear a small-sized fruit (edible by animals and humans.)

That there I believe is Pin Cherry.

 

[Woody Stover]

In the third pic if you can see the medullary rays, that would confirm Oak....

 

[CMAG]

Thanks again for the schooling
I guess the pinkish red wood and smell are what to look for?
I found the outer bark on oak (red?) and maple can look the same (some times)

 

[Woody Stover]

If you can ID by leaves, then look at the bark, end grain, and split side, you'll soon get to where you can ID wood correctly more often than not. Bark can vary quite a bit in a given specie, so it helps if you know the leaves and how the split wood looks.

Yup! Pin cherry!

 

[CMAG]

medullary rays

I had to google that sounds like the rings in the end grain?
Woody you said the third pic I assume your talking about what Scotty noted as white oak in the background of this one?

Leaves would be cool, but they go to the chipper as I get log's dropped
I have found the layer under the bark tells allot and the look of the wood under that
I am trying to work on one stack of wood at a time so trying not to split to ID

Yeah, that one on the left that Scotty saw. The rays appear as lines radiating out from the center of the round on the end grain. Many trees have 'em but on Oak they are usually (but not always) easy to see.

Yes, the color etc. of the inner bark can help with ID, too. I'm not too good at that yet, though.
