My tree identification capabilities are woeful.  I can manage a few when I can see their leaves, but in winter, without leaves, nada.  I live near a forested public park.  A few months ago, a crew removed a number of trees that were crowding one of the roadways.  I stopped to pick up a couple of logs.  My first impression was oak, but after doing a lot of tree bark images searches I now doubt that it is oak.  …and I haven’t yet found a good, comprehensive, guide to identifying by bark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FWIW, it looks like the staining is associated with beetle holes.  Whether useful for anything else, the longer one makes a good chopping block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can anyone name that tree?     [Leave a comment.<\/a>]
