Thanks guys. I will get it split and stacked. Just what I need in the shop. I don’t have wood stove at my house, but need to get shed/shop up to usable temperature asap. I’ll be doing a close friend a huge favor by just getting it off his lawn.

Great use for it and if you get it split soonish it should be dry and good to go by winter.

Yes. Hopefully split it right off the trailer I’m hauling it with. Less lifting

This is the way

My 84 year old neighbor called last night to tell me he was blocked in by an 18” fallen tree across his driveway. I was expecting something that would take a half a dozen cuts to clear and told him I can come by between calls at 930 this morning.
It was far more complicated than that. Anyway, I was there and figured I’d help the guy out. None of the tree service companies would be able to get out to his place for days. I was focused on being safe and getting the drive clear so I didn’t take any time to figure out the species - I just took some pics and figured I can do that later. The leaf pattern and pith remind me of hickory, but I’m unsure. An image search say poison sumac, I’m confident that’s wrong. What does the collective think?

I’d say you’re spot on with Hickory.

 

[Woodtroll]

Yes, hickory. Good job helping out a neighbor in need. It’s also been my experience that those “simple “ assistance projects turn out to be more involved than expected. But we’ve got to take care of each other.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I agree… Hickory. Lots of sub species. I always remember my dad saying “canoe shaped leaves”

 

[J.Noss]

I'd think Hickory as well, one clue is it should have a pretty decent aroma when cutting, I love Hickory for firewood, but rarely see/cut any

BBQ joints that smoke their own love that stuff in most of the South.

Here's a good one-
good firewood? How's it rank BTU-wise? Never burned any of it before

It’s pretty good I burn a lot of it. Lasts very well in the pile also

Howdy Studs,

Found this lying in a wooded area about 150 yards from my house.
Appears to be some type of Oak, perhaps Pin or Red Oak.

Can't find leaves or anything outside of these pics.
Any help would be appreciated.
Probally diving in tommorow with the MS 660 Stump Shot Special & my MS 261cm...unless its something with mighty low BTU's!

It does look like pin oak to me; pin oak is of the red oak species

It’s good. Any fruit tree is worth bringing home
