The bark on the left looks like ironwood. Split it for better I.D. Ironwood will have light colored (white?) sap wood and red heart wood. & it'll split kind of stringy. And it's pretty heavy wood. Great fuel.
The one on the right, need more than just that bark to look at. End grain shot? split piece?
That's ok I'm just trying to separate my red oak and ironwood from my load of mixed hardwood. So If I sell any to family this year it will burn for them.Looks like something I should know, but I can't place it.
Wild guess Catalpa?Looks like something I should know, but I can't place it.
Looks similar but I dont know. I forgot to mention I'm located in eastern OntarioWild guess Catalpa?
Is it light east to split and smell funny?Looks similar but I dont know. I forgot to mention I'm located in eastern Ontario
It might be White Oak huh? IDK about the other.White Oak on the left.
Red Maple on the right.
Its heavy. Not bad to split on the hydrolic splitter. I'd say yeah kind of a odd smell though maybe.Is it light east to split and smell funny?
I know 100 percent neither are oakWhite Oak on the left.
Red Maple on the right.
IDK maybe Sugar Maple.Its heavy. Not bad to split on the hydrolic splitter. I'd say yeah kind of a odd smell though maybe.
Not to be a smart a$$ but that does not look like sugar maple ( acer saccarum?) to me. More like some of the other maples I see in town but never out in the woods.Sugar Maple pic its very dense and heavy.View attachment 816958
need to see the end grain for sure but I do not think oak eitherI know 100 percent neither are oak
multiple species are called ironwood, this looks a little like hop hornbeam but very large for that speciesThe bark on the left looks like ironwood. Split it for better I.D.

I was assuming my first pic of the 2 different species that the one on the left was Ostrya Virginiana. But like you mentioned the one on the right i found to be very similar. However still different. They both came from the same load of logs I had delivered this year.multiple species are called ironwood, this looks a little like hop hornbeam but very large for that species
