Are they two different trees? The first looks like a very "soft" hardwood, just looks like a lower BTU tree but it'll burn.
 
Piece #1 is Ailanthus. It pretty much isn't worth peeing on. I'm not sure what the split piece is. The other pieces appear different.

The image focus of img_1095 is tree of heaven/ ailanthus as Paul bunion said. Img_1096 looks like it split easily? I would like a bark shot. Very clean pics btw.
 
Thanks Guys. It should be the same tree but its possible I snapped a shot of something different on the split piece. Ill split that one and take another shot. Never heard of Ailanthus. I only have a few pieces of this. Ill throw anything in the stove that burns unless theres a reason not to.
 
Misnamed for sure. Tree of heaven. It can't be killed. Should be called never die.
