Thanks guys.

Way too light for Ash, and even though the bark resembles Ash, I don’t see an “X” in the bark.

I’ll do some further research and get keep
you posted.

Thanks!!!

Looks similar to what I got today. I am not sure what it is neither.

Different "Red Oak" species can look quite different. This water oak, as well as pin oak, look different (as far as bark and leaves go) than other species of "Red Oak" trees imo.

I'm cognizant of hybrid versions and water oak being in the same family, which she can manage, yet 100% pure red oak is a problem.
Appreciate the help!

You probably have what Reggie and I refer to as a pure (or true red oak) tree. It is not very common around here. In fact, I cut some once and had to ask what it was because the bark is so different and it is wetter and heavier than any other red oak I have ever cut.

Excellent. Allergies have always baffled me; how some of them are extremely random, and some of them can be very dangerous.

Yes, it is baffling. I can't stomach green red oak tossed in the fireplace, yet my wife can sniff it out after being seasoned 18 months in Alabama heat!:rolleyes:
After about 6-8 months of seasoning I'm ok with it, yet she will gag & her eyes get red and start running like a faucet!:crybaby2:
BTW...how is ye ole Water Oak as far as BTU's and making a decent coal bed?

OK fellas here we go. Fairly spalted, no pink, seems fairly hard, my thought is maple.

Not a curve ball at all, and probably what you got.

This is Honey Locust.
View attachment 15563

There is a thornless variety, but what you had ain't it.

These are rounds from a Honey locust tree. Wood is pink with robust white cambium layer under the bark.

Not to be confused with Black locust, which has a yellowish color and does not rot like the Honey locust does.
Black locust has thorn , that what you have .Honey locust is mostly thornless
