Purchased what was said to be a mystery wood and "walnut", the price was right and close. Supposed to be at or above 2 cords.

Not sure what the wood's are. each picture is supposed to be of a different species.

Any guess's ?

Both pics look to have some hickory.

Got any clearer pictures? Maybe some close ups of bark and a split face
 
Yes clearer pictures would help, but on the left side of the first picture it MIGHT be some Honeylocust, almost looks like it's kind of bark. The second picture looks like a lot of some sort of Maple. Probably some others in there as it is a true "mish-mosh" of woods!
 
#2 definitely maple.
#1 hard to tell in the pic

Yeah...honeylocust and a mapley barked wood. We're all easterners. I have no clue what grows in Idaho.
For some reason it all looks heavy. It doesnt matter what it is. Its all bucked nice. A nice pile of firewood.
I dont see any Walnut. Not even Butternut.
 
There's no walnut in that mix.

No walnut there. Maple in both. Hard maple though. Great firewood.
 
here is an update of the wood i found.
please help me identify species 2-5. there is no photo 1, since it was a duplicate.
If I find other types i'll post them.

Thank you.

#2 looks like some type of Cherry. #3 possibly Honey Locust as sis suggested, but I haven't seen it split yet. Whatever it is, it sure did a number on that hatchet! ;);lol
 
I know that it is not poplar, the bark is similar but different and my poplar around here aren't yellow in the middle.
I concur with some of it being cherry.
As for the rest it's still a mystery.

hopefully it's something good, though the last two pics don't feel as heavy/ dense as the cherry.
