Discolouration ID

[Johnsond]

Hi 

looking at a mix of Oak and Elm taken down post Arwen for milling up ( not quite sure of the logs in the pic mind) . Just wondering anyone can ID the staining seen in the pics,

I would say the blueish stain is ferrus Nails or similar . The dark brown is natural heartwood ? I'm no expert though .

I thought an oak because of the prominent tannin iron stain plus the star shake on the most discoloured end.

The cut face looks more like Elm to me and the bark has that greenish tinge like Elm . Usually Oak that diameter pale ring just under the bark and the the rest of the face is an even  tan color . But just my stab at it from a photo 🙂

It's not oak.
Possibly elm.
Timber looks like field maple to me though

I know what you mean re the pale color for Field Maple but for me the sticks are too strait for Field Maple .  I'm still going with Elm . 🙂
