Looks mighty close to some sugar maple I cut awhile back.
Great slow burning firewood & was stupid good in the smoker!!

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow. Cool. TY sir...

Top log is red maple, bottom log is ash. Not sure about the one in the middle. Looks like basswood, but it’s not. It’s the hardest of the 3

I’m guessing a hickory (smoothbark not shagbark) by the looks of it. I’d be able to tell more from a fresh cut end. Hickory also has a distinct smell when cut.

 

[huskihl]

I’ll take some more pics when I get some of it cut up and split

 

[RI Chevy]

This should be Hickory.

Welp, my buddy who gave me the logs was full of shît. I did some cutting today and that middle one is definitely basswood lol

How about these oaks?
At my grandparents home place.
Cousin told my dad they were "ornamental oaks".
Supposedly, my great grandfather planted them. He died in 1937.
My grandfather was born in 1921. He said They were already there.
Dad was born in 1946. He remembers the smaller one being about 8" off the flare. Its about 24"-28" otf now. Other one is considerably larger. Probably 40" otf. There was a third, but it broke in a storm many years ago. Cant say it was the same. It was largest of the three in the side yard.
Leaves are approximately 2"-2 1/2" long, and not over 1/2" wide. They also dont make many acorns. They liked them because they didnt make a mess.

Nice History.
Doesn't look like an oak to me. Going by the leaves.

 

[Hedgerow]

Looks like a Live Oak or laurel oak.
They got non traditional leaves.

Slow growing.. Live long time..

 

[Mastermind]

laurel oak.

I concur.

 

[RI Chevy]

Didn't know that. Cool.
Our red and white oak up here in the Northeast have very distinctive leaves.

Could also be willow oak.

 

[jakethesnake]

I would call it a willow oak

 

[Mastermind]

I've never seen willow oak.

There are what.....like 65 types of oak?

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow...
Are they all HOD WOOD?

 

[Ron660]

It's definitely a willow oak. Locals in Louisiana call them pin oak. It's a deciduous oak so they'll drop leaves in the fall. Also, in the wild, they usually grow alongside water oaks in hardwood bottomland.
