She collects shoes, I collect wood. All good! :)
 
Any guess as to how many cord are there?

Way too many. I can come over and relieve you of some of that burdensome wood.
 
Looks like beech to me :)

Nice scrounging. Stacks don't have to be perfect to look nice.
 
Pics #2 and 3 are definitely beech, however I don't believe that first pic to be oak....I don't see any defined medulary rays or annual rings in the wood. Looks more like a cottonwood or poplar to me.

Give it a split and sniff test it. Red oak will have a distinct vinegar smell to it.....
show me a pic of the split......
 
Correct, no rings that I saw, I'll look again and sniff my wood while trying to ensure no neighbors are looking. :p
