Wood ID Referance

[Jonesy11]

sent the pics to my dad and he said it was a white oak. found some pics that match it pretty closely

my next guess was going to be cherry

x2 white oak

The bark is similar to the white oak we have in CT (Quercus alba), but the color and the grain are a definate no. I just finished splitting about 3 cords of the stuff, and no way. The grain looks like maple, and the color of the wood look a lot like black walnut.

I have a cord of black walnut in my yard right next to it, damn sure it is not walnut. outer ring is wayyyyy to light and bark is completely different no orange/red or silvers in black walnut nor is it flaky like this is

A closeup pic of the endgrain would rule oak in or out. A WAG on my part would be silver or red maple, but that is just a guess...

Siver Maple Bark

I always think of pictures like this as I'm throwing another chunk of Walnut in the stove.

Seasoned it a few months then put a whole bunch of polyurethane coats on to stop the checking.And once you start work on it get it coated fast .

I burn a lot more hedge, which is more valuable than Walnut for either lumber or firewood. Nice work!

Hedge comes "Pre-Cracked" sometimes...

Yeah, I seldom find one of any size that isn't cracked.
