Wood ID

I pulled this out of my grandpa's ravine over the fall and cut it up over the weekend. I was wondering if this is black oak?
Thanks.....

Got any end grain shots?

No I don't, didn't think of that.... The bark doesn't resemble red or white oak. Just curious cause I've never seen any black oak down there, or much oak for that matter...

Looks like Rock Oak.

I agree with jackatc1 - looks like Chestnut Oak (Rock Oak)

I was curious about it because it had the typical oak leaves but resembled nothing like red or white oak. Is it any good? I assume it is being an oak species...

Anything with rays is great

It's a chestnut oak, I cut tons of the stuff. The ones on my place aren't fit for anything but firewood.

It's some sort of Oak. The one pic resembles Red Oak a bit.
