Wood ID help

[BASSFAN07]

This is from central NC. The usual wood I cut off my property consists of white oak, chestnut oak, and red oak. We also have some water, pin, overcap, post, and black jack oaks among other things. I cut oak for the most part

I decided I would get after two trees which were blown down two years back. One was a chestnut oak but I'm not sure what the other is. Here are a few pics. Thanks for the help. It splits like red oak but the bark isn't right.

Pics are too close up. I also think red oak, there are so many oaks.

Well it's definitely oak.

Im assuming you want a species ID.
The bark looks like Chestnut (quercus prinus) and the split looks like Northern Red. (Quercus rubrum)
But we know that white oaks and red oaks dont cross or hybridize. But that reds frequently hybridize with each other.
It could be that it truly is Chestnut and is suffering from some type of fungal pigment staining...but probably not.
Im not familiar with the bark on Southern red oak. Actually any of the southern oaks so I should sit this one out.
I too have a great many species of oaks here in NY but rely on leaves to seperate them, and winter buds. I never find acorns, ever. Too many deer and turkey.
Sorry.

Red of some type.

This is an oak, and I suspect it is in the red oak group. It is not Northern Red Oak, but in NC there are species I don't see very often and it could be one of those. The wood will be about the same no matter what species of oak it is.

Great stuff! stack it, and forget about it for three years, then enjoy the awesome, long burning heat it puts out.
