Title: which white oak?

A friend gave me some oak logs for craftwork. I don't have leaves to ID. Just end grain, bark, and some buds on the logs.

Not saying it is, but maybe chestnut oak.

My "wild guess" is Black Oak?

The end of a Black Oak looks like Red Oak and the bark looks chunky.

I have lots of red, black, white and chestnut oak on our place. I "look" sort of chunky myself too. :D
