[show me smoke]

limb of a white oak?  Oak sometimes will not have the deep furrows up on the smaller branches or on younger trees

I don't think it's apple, I don't think the bark it tight enough. Maybe a type of oak or hickory. Possibly elm. Hard to tell on my phone.

That piece on the table looks like maple to me.

If it's maple, yes. My initial thought was oak, but it's not I don't believe, but if so yes again. Get some smoking over some coals and see how it smells. Maple kind'a light smelling, maybe semi-sweet and a good smoking wood. Oak is not overly strong, a moderate smoke, nowhere like hickory but really hard to describe, maybe has super light nutty smell.

I tried burning some today but the smell wasn't somethng I would want on meat. It may be oak maple, but I've never used this particular wood before

Not worth ruining perfectly good food with questionable smelling wood. This morning I compared your pictures to our large red maples but I can't say positively that your wood is red maple.

It's funny how hard wood can be to identify sometimes.

Especially when there's thousands to decide from.
