Mexican invisible wood

For positive ID you will need to show the leaves too. If it's an oak a photo of the acorns will be needed as well to determine what kind of oak it is.

Better

Its Houdini tree.

First its gone then it appears

that was easy

 

[pokechop]

Unfortunately, these are the only photos I have. Do you think it's an oak??

Hog pen wood.

Hard to say without seeing the grain or bark up close. From the photo the splits appear too dark in color to be oak, but weathering conditions can affect that. Oaks can grow in that region. That piece in the front in the second picture (upside down Y) looks lighter in color that the splits. The bark on that piece looks like Hickory, but I wouldn't put any money on it if this was all I had to go by.

Central Mexico?? More than likely could be Mesquite especially with the very dark brown splits.

 

[pokechop]

Does Mesquite get that big??

 

[Whistler]

You bet.

Mesquite could be right.

 

[pokechop]

...sho' nough!

Could it be red oak??

Hard to tell without seeing the bark. Could be mesquite.

 

[SmokinJohn]

Could it be nacho wood?

..Sorry...you serve up a grapefruit, and someone has to hit it...

Mesquite bark has very thick heavy scale. That bark looks quite smooth in comparison. If it were cut from the top branches or boughs the bark might be smoother. Also the color of the whole split is wrong for Mesquite. Very heavy grey bark, then a fairly thick ring of yellow sap wood then the deep red heart wood. I would guess some other wood.

Boy, I hope the BBQ is better than the comedy out here!

Impossible to identify without a grain shot, but, the color looks wrong for oak, at least the splits.
