White oak.
 
Guessing some kind of Maple,maybe Silver.
 
I'll go with maple.
 
I would throw my money behind it being white oak. But it is hard to tell.
 
Yep, sometimes these pics can be deceiving. Second pic shows bark pulling away form wood, fungus growing on cut end and darkening. Probably cut last spring or earlier. Shows some signs of white oak in second pic, but first pic shows characteristic "ski trails" of red oak.

As always, I reserve the right to be wrong. :)
 
Not white oak either red or black oak
 
I see a lot of oak leaves on the ground.........

I am getting a smidgen better at identification, and doing research.
The guy said This stuff has been down two years, and there is a ship load of it , ya SHIP not the other word., and some standing dead
People were hired to clear trees , something went sour, and there they lay
 
two species. One on left is R.Oak the other is Hard Maple
 
The one on the left looks like red oak, not sure about the one on the right.
 
Can you crack 'em open and give us some split pics? I'm going with Red on the first pic...
 
First pic looks like red oak. Second looks like sugar maple or pignut hickory. Both from same tree?
