The smooth bark tree seen in pics #3 and #4 should be black birch, which should have provided one of the great firewood cutting scents-wintergreen. The tree in pics #5 and #6 looks like Chestnut Oak to me. Others may chime in and correct as needed. I enjoy the aroma from both, and they have a great bouquet as they season. Great score and work safe!!

This one looks like Yellow Birch to me. The bark looks extra curly a sign & it looks lighter in color too.

Definitely hardest of all trees in pictures . Feels like oak
You will know when you split it. Sassafras is light and splits easy.
Chestnut oak is heavy and can be stringy and twisted.

The other photo on that looked like yellow birch to me. Had a reddish tint.
