Thought I might start a firewood reference thread. Trying to add as many examples as possible. Please feel free to correct me on mistakes and add on anything you can come up with.

Stihl-O,
I was joking ! I think you are right it is Ash. around here Silver Maple is an easy to pick out tree because the bark is so different then the others. Ash is hard for me to tell until I split it. the insides tell the secret. But what do I know....all that you guys have taught me.
Good thread. Hope it catches on.

Any chance this is worth a sticky so it doesnt get lost?
 
Are you sure that first picture is Red Oak? The rings look too far apart and the bark looks too course.

yeah buts it a bad pic and is skewed a little. I had a pic to replace it but can edit it now.

:agree2:

Although it could just be the regional differences we're noticing... To me that looks more like pin oak though, the red oak around here is a pink salmon color with greenish bark that's more smooth.
 
any chance you guys can put leaf picture next to each type also?

Cheers

Maybe add on leafs separate but after a certain date it seems you cant edit posts anymore so cant add to the old ones
 
Nice!

Sure enjoyed looking at all those different kinds of wood.. Very pretty stuff. I do think I got a burned firewood tree next to my wood stove! Double checking! Again thanks.. enjoyed the pics
