Wood ID

[baseroom]

I am usually pretty good at ID. This is new to me. I thought it was going to be pretty light when i saw it. Turns out it was heavy. Also it split well on the splitter, also had a slight "orange tint" on the splits. Its all CSS now but would love to know what you guys think?

We have that here in PA. too, in fact I just picked up a few pieces this morning before work at the compost site that look very much like that. I think it is some kind of a Maple, maybe an ornamental one or an ornamental tree, I could be wrong but the grain reminds me of a type of Maple.

Looks like some kind of maple to me. Need assorted bark and end grain pics for better ID.

It felt like hard maple...but the bark is all wrong. Its smooth not ridged.....but dark and light almost spotted....not uniform like a beech or young silver maple.

Gotta be red maple looking at the bark. Inside doesn't really look red-mapley though.

Most sugar maples by me have smoother bark....plus with the horizontal rays that's my guess.

Based on the pics, I was thinking pin oak.

Hmmm got me thinking. Went back out and looked there do appear to be rays. When comparing to other pin oak barks online it still looks a bit off...but again may be just "localized"
