    It's def stringy, and the bark just falls off. However, it doesn't have the typical shaggy look of bark in pics off the internet. A hybrid type of shagbark maybe?? I'm hopin so! Lol

      Banks, my vote is hickory and white oak.

      Your area is popular for both and great hardwoods for smoking.

      My family roots are from Ohio County (still dry) thanks to grand dad.

        Hard to tell with those pic's but, looks like white oak to me.....
        White oak has a scale/shag like bark that pulls off easy and is common in your area...

          Yea post a pic of the nuts or any dried up leaves.... Sometimes the little under brush trees do not lose all their leaves.

          Sell the main trunks and split the limbs for the smoker.

            Sell the main trunks to a timber buyer and split the limbs for the smoker.

              Supposed to rain tomorrow, but next chance I get going to get some better pictures and find a match on leaves and nuts off another standing tree of the same.
              A local guy told me today he thinks it's pignut hickory.
              Thanks for the help!

                Pig nut is what I was thinking.much more prevalent in my part of KY. The nuts are very sturdy and you should be able to find some on the ground around the cuttings.

                Great for smoking and dries pretty fast once split.

                  If the nuts are hard as bloody hell, then it's Hickory. Hickory and Pecan are very closely related, but the nuts are very different. Both woods are tough and stringy.

                    Brown heartwood is indicative of maple, bark looks good for maple as well IMHO. The split pieces look like they may have some dry rot.
                    If you burn some and the smoke smells of maple syrup then it's maple.
                    Not oak IMHO.

                      Oh, just burn it. If it makes the food taste good then tuck it away nice and dry. If the food tastes terrible then throw it all in your neighbors yard.

                      Not like your trying to use green white pine or fresh cedar.

                      That would be less than funny.

                        The dark center looks like it could be black-walnut.
