It did. Is that common?

It is very common on maple. As in usually. I’d say it’s common on the red oak too. If the branch gets big enough it’ll start getting the gnarly bark

 

[huskihl]

Almost every tree is like that if its old enough

OK. Thanks guys. I must be asleep at the wheel while cutting. Lol

My eyes are not what they use to be.
Is this ash, hickory, or sweetgum...etc?
This is the best pic the guy sent me.

Ash.

Edit. Or maybe something else. Hard to tell

 

[jakethesnake]

I such at this. ... the way that bark peeled on the one piece looks like a geeen red oak

 

[RI Chevy]

I was thinking oak too. Looks like a hard wood.

Is there a difference between Beechnut tree and a Bitternut Tree? One in the same? Two different species?
They both seem to grow baseball sized Green type fruit that contains some sort of nut inside.
Both seem to have the same type of leaf structure.

Bitter but hickory? Vs beech nut. Different trees.

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. Just trying to figure these two out. Thanks.

Beech is actually in the oak family.

Hmmm. Is it considered a hard wood?

Yep. Not worth much for anything. Except Budweiser.

Lol. Must be OK to burn then. AND make barrel staves.

 

[CrystalRiver1]

A friend of mine sent me this, says it's white oak.
I burn more locust, hedge, and hickory.
Yet this is free and within 20 min from the house.
These are the best pics.
Any ideas???
Pit-Bulls hopefully will be put up...else I'm out...don't have good track record with em!

 

[RI Chevy]

I can't tell from the side. I'd have to see a piece cut.

 

[jakethesnake]

Looks about like a white oak. Really really good firewood. Top notch. Better than all the above cept the locust

 

[jakethesnake]

Trees are kinda hard to judge in pictures
