Tree identification...?

[scjohnson243]

Could anyone help me identify this?

Fresh Fire wood, Seasoned Tree...Free

I think its a version of Oak?

Would make a lot of pen blanks if its decent to work with!

It looks a bit too straight for oak, but maybe that's just based on the trees I've seen in this area. Regardless, of what it is, I would jump on the free offer - looks like some great figured & colored heart wood in that tree.

Hey neighbor. Pretty sure it's a red oak. Not a fan of them myself. Just straight, open grain.

YA, I agree, oak

Looks like a good deal for someone needing some firewood, If I only lived closer!!!

Yep! It's a tree!:biggrin:

Hi from 2 hours north. Looks like red oak to me. Nice wood for benches, cabinets, wood trim in your house, etc. Probably not the most dramatic for pens, but still a nice wood. Be aware that red oak grain is a little more open than, say, maple.

But the price is right!

Red oak is porous enough that if you don't seal the inside of a bowl you can't get a vacuum seal......

You're lucky (or maybe, unlucky...!) that I'm so damn far away...!:frown:

PS: Thank you for taking the time to offer it here, on IAP...!
