The tree has distinctive smell, very "fibery" inside. Bark flakes getting bigger near the top .

Quercus alba, white oak. Great hot burning firewood[emoji1303]

If it is white oak it should smell like vanilla when you split it.

White oak without a doubt. Scrounged quite a bit of it at the sawmill this year. Save those little shredded pieces for kindling and fire starters.

Ha... Just walked in from splitting about a cord of it... Cool thing about delmarva, we are loaded with it, it loves are wet sandy woods.

I was going to say American Elm, but the last photo proved me wrong. White Oak for sure.

 

[BrotherBart]

Yep. White Oak and really tight grain. Gonna need some drying time but great firewood.

 

[Rebelduckman]

Ah the smell of bourbon barrels

 

[PA. Woodsman]

Man that is a great score, really nice looking wood!

Give it three years and it'll burn great

 

[English BoB]

I disagree...........its caucasian oak.............

Yeah , now it make sense. I had same kind of tree that was cut in rounds 6 to 8" with no bark sitting outside for a year , I split it and had it outside for another year and it's still very heavy and moist. I dealt with red oak before, I assumed white oak is the same , just white , not reddish. Now I know

Yeah , stubborn and smells like vanilla

Plus one on this. It beats cutting up pallets for kindling, and there will be plenty of them.

 

[Ctwoodtick]

I am thinking cottonwood..........just kidding, I saw white oak right away.

 

[Stinkpickle]

Nice! That sucker is straighter than any white oak I get to mess with.
