White oak?

[Fred Wright]

Local tree company dropped it off this morning. It's oak, just not sure which variety.

Thoughts?

I think is looks like white oak too.

Are there any little suckers with leaves left on any of the rounds?

Doesn't look like the white oak around here.

Doesn't look like the white oak around here.

That was my thoughts exactly. Looks more like a pin oak to me....

Pin Oak. And you suck...

I vote pin oak. Nice score.

Agree...pin oak. Bark pattern not near wide and 'scaley' to be white oak. Least not the white oak in the south. A good handful of rounds a few wknds ago from a neighbor of mine were pin oak. Splits nice and clean...Super Split HD loved it, blew right through it.

Pin Oak I think. Could be Willow Oak if not.

I finished up a stack of red maple rounds today and decided to split one of the smaller oak rounds just to see. Yup, that unmistakable aroma of pin oak was quite noticeable. Phew.

Was wondering about willow oak, they grow a lot around these parts. Bark is similar to willow oak as well as the wide growth rings. There's not a leaf or sprout one on this load.

Got the saw and maul out this morning, noodled/busted some. Too hot and muggy to do any more. Definitely pin oak. Took one of these down a couple years ago.

Agreed...the bark is not the same as white oaks I have seen here. My vote is pin oak as well.

Doesn't look like any Oak we have around here & I burn a lot of white Oak.

If you look at the few pics with branch stubs, that is classic pin oak branch habit.

perhaps a burr oak

Looks like burn-na-bl oak to me!
