Wood ID help

[Newschool]

I picked up a half cord of this split over the summer. Free, but still seems a bit wet (averages 26% on the mm when re splitting now).

I'm new so still trying to get handle on wood species. Any help would be great!

Red oak, does it smell kind of funky?

Doesn't seem to have any smell that I noticed.

Red oak for sure. Great firewood but takes awhile to dry fully. I'm shocked that you got it for free!

Red oak with a punky layer. Excellent wood. Can't believe you don't notice the aromatic smell when split.
Stack it punky side up to dry it out.

It came split, so I only re-split a few pieces recently to test with my MM. I was hoping to use this at the end of the season, but now knowing this is oak means that is unlikely...

Hum... I thought I posted on this thread yesterday. I guess sometimes it is good to check to see if you've clicked on that "Post Reply" button.
