Can you Identify this wood??? Please help

[crownovercoke]

I have a question about some wood my father got ahold of. I took pictures of it. He swears its cherry. I think its pecan or possibly walnut. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it...

Looks like black cherry to me

I found a pic of black cherry for comparison.

Looks more like cherry to me ... at any rate, it is hardwood and it will be great!

Take a small piece and burn it ... if it is cherry, you'll know right away!

Let us know what you find out?

Bark doesn't look like any cherry that I've seen up here in NW Mo.

I agree with WVSmokeMan!

Looks like black cherry. It is definately not pecan.

can't tell you about the cherry, but that's not pecan bark and color

I thought it kind of looked like walnut to me, but I am unfamiliar to what black cherry looks like.

Thank you for all of your imput. I guess I will chop it alittle and throw some on the grill and find out for sure before I use it for smoke.

Looks like the silver leaf maple that is in my back yard.
