white oak, birch and white oak!
 
wood dope said:
white oak, beech and ?

That 3 one has me guessing as well. Hickory would be my 2nd guess.

Thats what I was going to say, looking at the two tone wood grain looks like hickory.

1. white oak
2. birch
3. hickory
 
white oak
birch
poplar
 
I guess the White Oak was the easy one. :)

Ok so some say Beech and some say Birch. If I had to pick one I would say Beech. To you birch guys what kind of Birch looks like that? This wood is just as heavy as the White Oak FYI.

And the third is the mystery wood! Its definitely not Poplar. But I really am not sure what it is.......
 
1 - White Oak

2 - Beech not Birch

3 - Maple (not sure which)
 
oak, beech ( although the beech here bark is a bit smoother looking, but the inside and the way the bark peels looks like beech) and some kind of poplar for #3 ?
 
If #3 is Hickory, what type of Hickory would it be? I know not Shagbark.
 
Quercus alba, Fagus grandifolia, Carya glabra

I just didn't want to repeat what has already been said.
