I had someone email me this picture and ask if I wanted the wood. The ends look like white oak to me, but the bark looks a little smooth. Anyone know?

It's Oak, though I'm not sure if it's white or red without a leaf. You definitely want it. Those rounds are pretty large so bring plenty of help, and a splitter.

Looks like white oak to me, already bucked I'd have it picked up already.

There is probably a cord of pine there also, already half bucked if anyone local to Crofton, MD wants it. Easy truck access.
 
NRGarrott, is your avatar a Chesapeake on a boat on the Chesapeake? :cool:

Now I'm craving some soft-shell crabs!
 
Yes, the bark looks thick, so red.
 
Whoever that someone was who sent you the email...that was awfully nice of them!! Lucky you on that one.
What Sister said! I wish I had people email me stuff like that. Good score for sure
 
Yeah thats red for sure... funny thing is i had to cut a notch out of this guy to get to some red oak and couldn't figure out what i was cutting. Anyone know what this is????
