I drag a tree home ever so often and usually know what it is, the bark looks like the bark on some Black Walnut trees I have on my property. But I think maybe that or some kind of poplar

Yep looks like tulip to me.
 
Tulip, AKA Yellow Poplar, and yes end-grain helps...
 
Tulip.

Easy to split, fast to dry. Burns hot but fast. I like It in my Bk.
 
Yes I have burned it before thought it was Tulip but not sure.
 
Are you asking for an ID on both pictures or just the one on the right which yes is Tulip Poplar, the other looks like Ash to me on the left, are they 2 different trees?

Tulip Poplar bark has the grey, oval pattern in the bark. So the picture on the right is a dead giveaway. The picture on the left is definitely tougher with more intersections, but looks like that was just dirtier. Tons of tulip poplar in Northern VA where I'm from...
 
Definately thinkin tulip myself. Lots around here as well.

Photos can be tough. But I'm 99.9% sure on tulip poplar just from those first two bark photos.
