Wood I'd please

[Dantheman300z]

I am working on a large 20 acre scrounge. Got this the other day. Crazy dense and heavy still. It was already fell most likely for a year or so. The red is the heartwood. I thought red oak.

Red oak

Ok sweet. Well my assumption was correct.

x3 Split its real small. In my experience it takes forever (2 yrs +) to season.

I will have enough firewood as it is for next season. Gonna keep it larger for now. I need some heavy slow stuff for the years ahead.

Red oak, I'd say from the photo. Best firewood there is, in my view.

American elm for sure

American elm because of the grain?

I can't tell what it is. The bark doesn't look like Red Oak, but a small piece of bark can be hard to identify.

American elm because of the grain?

I've split my fair share of American Elm, and I've never had it split that cleanly. The bark is pretty beat up, so it's tough to guess using that. Can you take a picture closer, as well of the end grain.

I took it to my shop and stacked it already but I am hoping to go get more because I only got a very small part of the tree and these had been cut for a while.

The bark seems like something that should stand out as memorable.
