Black walnut in there too? Maybe oak on top

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe split and post a pic of that and the stuff on top
 
I think you have Black birch instead of what you think is Black cherry(its called Cherry birch), I dont see any Cherry.
Maybe Black Ash too and theres another wood with chunky sort of bark, a few rounds in there, IDK what that is.
They all look like nice clean hardwoods.
 
I split a few open. The first one popped opened really easy. Second one I think is the black walnut and the third one I'm not sure. I thought it was oak.

I'm voting Tulip Poplar, Black Walnut, and what looks to be Ash...
 
Poplar (dogwood maybe), Elm and Ash?
 
That purply chocolate color is a walnut thing, but that much white sapwood seems off. But its definitely not Ash. I'll join the walnut consensus.
What about the Birch pieces?
Poplar on the easy split stuff.

I was thinking the same thing with the birch
 
I was thinking the same thing with the black walnut, a lot of sapwood but the bark and heartwood look like what I have
