Identifying types of lumber

[Arkyrick]

I have had a sawmill for 10 years but am still learning how to identify species of trees (lumber) I know how to identify Black walnut - Pine - Cedar - White and red oak - Sassafras - Hickory - but I cut two logs the other day and made siding out of them for my wood shed, I think the lighter colored one is Ash I have no idea what the red one is the red has the bark still on it

  It appears to be oak, maybe  black jack?  hard to tell,

[Arkyrick]

It had a leaf like a hickory but I've never seen Hickory that red

Here's a closer shot of it

It looks like one of the hickories to me.  Regards, Clark

material??

It does look like some type of hickory from the bark, how did it smell? was there a sweetness to it?

Hickory can have a lot of red, depending on where it grew and which species.  Honeylocust is another species that throws off a lot of people.

[Arkyrick]

Yes it was heavier than the lighter wood and it did have a sweet smell.
