Help Identify These Woods

[mark.cow]

Hi guys,

I am new to woodworking and i have been given some hardwood ofcuts from a friend and i need help identifying them.

I think photo 1 and photo 2 is walnut?

And Photo 3 and Photo 4 is oak?

Photo 3 and 4 I don't think are Oak,looks a bit like Sapele to me ,I think you're right with the Walnut though.

Looks like walnut and oak to me too.

Walnut and oak. Not sure whether the walnut is European or American.

I use a lot of american black walnut and that is spot on.
dont use oak, cant comment.

I agree walnut & oak - the oak grain seems very wide and therefore fast grown; good for practise pieces though?

That last one is a little odd to me, It looks like Oak whilst at the same time not quite looking like Oak but as Freddy said, might just be a quick-grown piece that makes it look a bit strange rather than being a piece of Sweet Chestnut or whatnot.

I'd say that there was a chance the oak has had a white fungal attack during the drying process.
