I know almost nothing about trees but I'm gonna guess cherry.
 
Need some left coast tree ID guys. I've never seen that here on the right coast.
 
I have no idea but that's some pretty cool looking wood there-is the grain Red inside?
 
It is probably my eyes/screen and no bad intent to anyone who has been burnt out of thier home due to the Santa Ana Winds, but that looks like its been in a fire.
hence firewood.
 
Red Alder? Need some leaves to tell for sure.
 
Thanx for the replies so far

It doesn't seem to smell like pine
It fell from a combo of termites and the Santa Ana winds
We're guessing Ash?
 
Never seen ash that shade of red.
