I need help to ID some wood

[Organico]

Hey Guys,

i went up to my property today to cut up some wood on the ground and removed some small trees to get ready for my buddy who is going to put a large oak on the ground for me.

I'm wanting to make some chunks for smoking on the egg and I was wondering exactly what I have.

I believe the 2 pcs on the left are hickory and the 2 on the right are oak.

Please tell me if I'm wrong. THX in advance

left (hickory?)

right

white oak?

From an Ohio point of veiw,,,,No....

From your location I really can't say...

Trees vary quite a bit from one region to another. My father in law in Florida has some hickories that look NOTHING like those in Ohio.

My buddies and I have a standing joke around here. If your not sure what it is.... It must be Ironwood!

The ones on the right is not white oak. You might have the hickory right.

Thanks for the replies guys.

here are the split pictures, hope this helps

I know that without having a leaf, it's hard to identify in winter by the bark alone unless you've been doing it for years.

hickory?

oak? black gum? sourwood?

both pcs together

Hickory=Sassafras, Oak=Ash. Just guessing.

how did it split hard or easy and did it cut easy like softwood or hard like hickory looks like gum.

It split pretty easy, but the size of the log was very small.

As far as cutting it, saw went thru it with no problems.

possibly a hickory species but my guess is leaning towards poplar

Black gum is almost impossible to split so you can take it off your list of possibles.

you got that right, black gum does'nt split it either crushes or you saw it.
once its dry you can load a good size piece but its just not worth the effort for firewood.IMO

hickory on the left

Kinda leaning towards cottonwood on the right.

That's what I'd say.
