Wood ID, please

A tree fell across a little cemetery across the street from me. I went through the proper channels to obtain it. What did I get?

Looks like Ash that was killed by Emerald Ash borer that has partially deteriorated. EAB is in southern NH so any ash trees standing will not be there for long. The recommendation is cut them quick before they get killed.

Looks more like walnut to me. Split some and lets see it.

Looks like ash, and the rot has begun to set in.

My guess is walnut. To me, the bark on ash would not be as deeply furrowed. If it's opposite branching, it's likely ash.

Looks more like walnut than ash to me.

Doesn't look dark enough for black walnut.

This is black walnut.

Agreed, but I’ve seen walnut with light colored heartwood, although rarely. However, I’ve never seen bark like that on ash...borderline cottonwood thickness. Could it be poplar?

I was thinking the same, cottonwood based off the bark.

Need more wood porn than one bad split pic. Like looking a a picture of a fender and identifying the car.
