Not sure. Black oak?

I was thinking that or even walnut. I’ll know more tomorrow.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Im guessing walnut

 

[lost in the woods]

yeah looks like walnut! if it is - sell those logs. . . my other suspicion would be chestnut oak? the more I look the more im seeing walnut. . . could we get a photo of the ends of the logs?

Black walnut will have characteristic chocolate colored heartwood.
* Pic of end grain ?
Walnut bark is soft and will slice with pen knife with solid, brown color.
Twig scars of walnut very characteristic - 'monkey face' (mouth w/ two eyes).
Pith of twigs are distinctive too - chambered.

It could be anything outside of the willow family and it's a great deal for free.

Looks like a good source of heat at a great price.

I’m heading to cut it in an hour or so. All I’ve seen it those pics. It you look at where the limbs were cut I see that dark heartwood. That’s why I’m thinking walnut.

There is no money in walnut right now. The market to China is dried up.

Since I drove there I wanna head and cut and chunked up a truck load. But, it’s Poplar.

Yes, that's a better guess than black oak. Chestnut oak or walnut . The end of that one looks like walnut.

That was my guess. Bark is certainly not Black Oak, Tulip Poplar or Black Walnut like I see here.
