oak?

 

[deer slayer]

:agree2: possibly white or pin??

 

[Turkeyslayer]

I was thinking white oak, but not sure what species you have down there.

 

[burroak]

It's not oak. There's no "flecking" in that piece he has, which is characteristic of oak.

Might be a type of hickory, if it really is heavy. I can't say for sure what it is.

 

[unclemoustache]

I was thinking oak too, but that inner stuff doesn't look right. Got any shots of the grain?

 

[flotek]

pignut hickory

 

[knockbill]

the pic looks like cherry,,, very wet, pourus and heavy, till it drys out...

 

[coog]

Hickory.

 

[Laird]

hickory.

+1

 

[Stihl-in-Ky]

With the color in the center and the rest of the wood looks light it may be box elder.If the small branches are green and shiney it is most likely box elder which is heavy when green and loses much weight when dried.Split a piece and show the grain for a better chance to id.

 

[Junkrunner]

Maybe Gum?

 

[bluestem]

My guess is hickory as well, the sapwood is to dark to be boxelder and the bark is to corky.

 

[RAYINTOMBALL]

HICKORY 4 SURE.

 

[Limestone]

Bark looks like cottonwood we have here

 

[Woodcutteranon]

I am 100% certain its Elm.

Well...after thinking about it...

I have no idea.

 

[chucker]

locust or russian olive.... bark is all wrong for red or white oak.

 

[lone wolf]

cant tell for sure can you send pics of the wood split showing the grain?

 

[knockbill]

i still think it looks like cherry,, especially 2nd & 3rd pics,,, i just picked some up this morning, and split and stacked it,,, take a pic of it split, if you can,,,

I can see why you think so, but the bark is far too thick to be Cherry,IMO.
