The first one sure looks like maple to me, also. And I do believe that cherry is correct on the second.
Not Northern Red Oak, but maybe Bur Oak or Post Oak. (white oak group) Definitely oak, though.
And No on Black cherry, anyway, the sapwood band is too wide. Maybe black maple. (a sugar type)

1. Maple (I'm guessing Soft Maple)
2. Mulberry. Although that is a lot of sapwood for mulberry...

First two photos W. Oak of some type. you can see the medullary rays in the split.
Photo 3&4 Hard Maple, I'm 100% on this one.

The first 2 look a little like an Oak my late Father used to call Mountain Oak but I think it's White Oak.
The second 2 doesn't look like any Cherry we have around here, looks more like Maple.

The first one isn't oak, I think it is maple. The second could be Mulberry. I haven't seen a lot of Mulberry but the sapwood looks too wide for Mulberry.
I say the first is white oak. If you look at the shaded face of the split, you can see the thin, dark, elongated, and regularly sized marks in the grain of the wood.

Never seen mulberry rot like that. If you split it, it will still be yellow no matter how old mulberry is.
