Wood ID

My neighbor is a big woodsman, so, we’ve got these pieces lying around, I don’t know what kind of wood this is, please assist.

Looks like Cherry to me with that scaly bark and red cut ends. Crack a round open, it should smell sweet.

First round does resemble cherry. Very hard to tell by a pic of aged wood. Fresh cut and bark is best.

Pictures with bark seem to show cherry, white oak, red oak, maybe some ash.

The wide angle shot definitely has cherry, some ash, and what looks like some sugar maple. Possibly a couple others, but I can't make anything else out definitively.

Thank you everyone. I haven’t had a chance to talk with my neighbor yet.

That's old wood. And a lot of it. Seriously, it looks like black cherry.

I think I'm also seeing some sugar maple, ash, and oak. Very promising -- that's a great mix of firewood.

Looks like a decent mix if hardwoods.

In addition to the above I think I see some hickory, is this all your wood?

This is my neighbor’s wood. He’s letting us have some.

Take as much as you can get.
