Little help please? I know one is hickory. Not 100% on the other.

Thanks

Wolverine · 03-03-2013, 01:22 PM

To hard to tell, cover it in snow and i might be of some help .

Harbormaster · 03-03-2013, 02:04 PM

Which one do you think is hickory? I'd say the small one is a hickory limb. The other one looks like it could be oak or wild cherry. Kind of hard to tell without seeing the grain.

superlazy · 03-03-2013, 02:55 PM

Just took a look at our ash and the bark looks the same.
Why does that sound weird?

HOPTOAD · 03-03-2013, 02:55 PM

I thought the top one was hickory.. Shows you how much I know

Ill get a pic up of the grain shortly. Thanks for the help.

landarc · 03-03-2013, 03:02 PM

Not any of the cherries, could be oak

ButtBurner · 03-03-2013, 03:34 PM

I say the hickory is on the right. I have some and it looks exactly like that. does look like oak too but since you said one is hickory thats my bet

the one on the left, could be a young maple? I dunno...

1MoreFord · 03-03-2013, 04:02 PM

Both look like hickory to me. A limb or very upper trunk piece on the left and lower trunk on the right. I think the correct name is Pignut. Definitely not Shagbark.

Lake Dogs · 03-03-2013, 04:58 PM

Left/lower could be a smaller hickory or (not good) poplar, but the larger piece looks like a mature pignut hickory.

Char It a little with a torch. The smell should be a dead give away if your familiar with wood smells.

Small one is a limb. Larger one is a hickory split. Pig nut hickory. Doesnt look like shag bark. But both hickory!

Didnt mean to repeat?

frognot · 03-03-2013, 05:37 PM

i'd say left (smaller one) hickory & right is oak.

HOPTOAD · 03-03-2013, 06:42 PM

Pic of the grain..

For some reason when I look at the first pic the logs are above one another. I thought the bigger one was hickory originally.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

frognot · 03-03-2013, 07:35 PM

Now with that lateral view, i gotta change my guess to both are hickory.
