It was,surrounded by pine trees and 1 oak..
lady said it had leaves on it..who knows tho.
doesn't GI've me a oak feeling.
does not smell like pine and not sappy..
I thought it was cherry by looking at ends.
but when I split it,it's not dark enough on inside.
Thanks
 
agree, black cherry. I burn alot of it here, great shoulder season wood and excellent smell.
 
Black cherry

Cherry will darken up quite a bit after being exposed to the air and sunlight for awhile. Initially it is a lighter shade.

Looking closer - I think you are probably correct.

Cherry, cherry baby!
 
Just loaded some with hard maple.
 
Going with black cherry too . . . split and sniff . . . if it's cherry you might find a sweet smell.
