Found this on craigslist. They have 2 trees taken down last year. We got 1 truck load today and there is around 4 or 5 truck loads left. She is going to pull the add down and keep it for me. She told me its oak and my god its heavier then anything I have ever scrounged before. Smells like oak.

So is it red oak? It just doesnt look quite like the red oak I have gotten in the past and it definitely isnt white oak.

Ignore the silver maple in the back. Im just behind on the splitting

It is a oak, I would say pin oak. Look like thick that sapwood is, be careful it will rot on you in a few if you don't use it or cover it up. PS. Did it have a barn yard smell like a cattle lot, that is how pin oak smells sometimes

Smelled like crap like all the oak I have ever split.... lol


Split very very easily.

I googled pin oak and it looks exactly like the google image. Dark center light around the outside. So looks like pin oak it is. They have another 4 - 5 truckloads or so there I will be getting next weekend.
