Not So Pro 3

I thought white oak, but don't recall the leaves on that tree and admit I'm not the best by i.d. by bark...
Isn't hickory and white oak bark similar or is it hickory and red oak?

…not a white oak.

Could be Red Oak or Bur Oak

The hickory around here has that real shaggy look. That looks like oak to me.

Big differences in timber from north to south. Ash for instance......we don't have any.

We have three different hickory trees here. Shag bark, pig nut, and regular hickory.

I'm heading back out to the woods in a bit.
I'll get some close up pics.

The branches look all wild like a hickory. Bark kind of resembles mockernut. Got a few of those around here.

Afternoon goons.

What's up dudes? Interesting day weather wise. I got soaked....bottom fell out when I was up in a holly oak. Got down when the thunder and lightning started.

Tree top and base.
No leaves on down tree.
Last pic is a leaf and trunk of adjacent tree.
Bark looks the same to me.

Smell where it broke. Red oak has a very distinct odor. Some call it vomit. I've never gotten that.

I know what it smells like, but I'm not climbing my Happy azz up there to sniff it.
It can wait until I cut it up.

I could throw the dog up there though..

 

[cuinrearview]

Well the leaf in your hand is red oak family.

There's Ash around me. I have found a big difference east to west, like how east coast red oaks have cottonwood looking bark, nothing like what I see around here.

Part of the kiddo’s Christmas came…Schutt Authentic Air XP full-size helmets with full TPU bladder/helmet pads. Daughter is a die-hard Vol, son is a Dawg.

Both check out fine…solid, real-deal, on-field player helmets. I’ll adjust the chin straps a bit, add their numbers to the rear, and back in the boxes they go for wrapping…

Doing some off roading with the dog.

Don't get back to the northwest corner of my property all that much for no real reason.
