Wood ID

[turn81]

Not really a blank question, but I was curious if anyone can positively identify this wood. My 'wood guy' gave me a board and he wasn't sure what it was. I turned up a pen with it and I THINK it is just oak - can anyone verify?

Looks like some Hickory I recently turned.

My first thought was oak...

Judging by the tear out around the middle band & the tip, I'd say oak too.

For a positive identification (as opposed to a guess) you will need to polish the end grain and take a sharp close-up photo of it.

If you head over to Woodbarter, there's a forum dedicated to Wood ID. (Post a message of introduction before posting your pix and question.)

Sure looks like white oak to me!
