You would tell oak or willow by the smell when you cut it.

I was going to say poplar.

goat willow for me.

How heavy is it? Oak is heavier than willow which are the 2 choices being considered. Also the end grain, willow is fast growing and will have wider growth rings oak will be closer together.

 

I'm no expert and might be wrong of course. Often when I see logs like that a few leaves sneak in and they can help you out
