If those are the leaves white oak hat rounded lobes red are pointy
Split off a small piece and blow on the end grain. Red you can blow bubbles in water just like a straw. White you can not

Re: White oak or red
Leaves are not from the split wood.. I will make some pieces up and toast them and try it in a small jar. Thanks all I was thinking it was white but needed some more opinions. I'll be sure to try to blow thru a chip too.
