Looks like oak but the proof is usually in the end grain for oak.
 
I dont think its Oak , to stringy.. looks like a small hickory or ash. How about some leaves or some different pics
 
Elm mostly -to the right in pic 1, with the layers of different colored wood. Yellow then pale taupes. Ive seen it in Elm that stood dead for a long time.
Nothing looked like oak.
 
I know what it's not.. Red oak. Not much help. Maybe more pics.
 
The whitish-looking one almost looks like Silver Maple but I'd have to see the flip-side of it (bark); not sure on the other one either. Can you show the bark side of those two splits please?
 
one piece of Elm, one piece of Aspen.
 
I cut this wood early spring before the leaves came out and this summer some oak leaves came up around a couple stumps and I thought that might be the wood. Anyway I took a pic of the end cuts.
Thanks for the help.

Those three photos confirm my call^^^
 
End grain makes a world of difference.
 
Yeah, definitely not oak. I think Elm and Aspen are the right answers.
