Chinquapin oak according to my I-phone, a member of the white oak family

From Wikipedia: Chinquapin oak is also sometimes confused with the related chestnut oak (Quercus montana), which it closely resembles. However, unlike the pointed teeth on the leaves of the chinquapin oak, chestnut oak leaves generally have rounded teeth. The two species have contrasting kinds of bark: chinquapin oak has a gray, flaky bark very similar to that of white oak (Q. alba) but with a more yellow-brown cast to it (hence the occasional name yellow oak for this species), while chestnut oak has dark, solid, deeply ridged bark. The chinquapin oak also has smaller acorns than the chestnut oak or another similar species, the swamp chestnut oak (Q. michauxii), which have some of the largest acorns of any oaks.[2]

So does Chinquapin oak make good lumber?

Just curious.

Some burr oak "leaves" from our yard.



Picked up from the conservation district sale a bunch of years ago.

Chinquapin was my other idea.
I believe we have quite a bit of it in this area.

I'll let you know.... assuming it's not full of nails.

I'm pretty sure I've cut a few logs of it in the past, but not 100%.

Happy Flag Day!

 

[BrettL]

God morning y'all. Gonna cut some hedge today!

 

[nbbt]

Good morning folks.
Seems with all the natural rains that we have a near run away garden at least at the homestead location. I almost couldn't believe how much stuff's grew in just 4 days, which is good. Plants are finally mature enough to let those buds produce product, rather than picking them off.

Does pin oak make good lumber? I thought I remembered reading that it decomposes?.... Good morning y'all.

It will in log form for sure..

You gotta mill it into boards and let it dry out..

 

[Sawdust Man]

Sam helped the BIL burn down a gruesome house today......they recently bought their neighbors place, which was a appalling dump..... so Sam's been helping em clean it up with the Kubota.

Woke up about 5:00 to some wind & thunder then dozed off again. Guessers were saying maybe some rain tonight. We will take what we can get, it has dried out pretty rapidly over the last week or so.
