Is this oak - help required

Is this oak, and how can I tell?

Hard to tell from those pics, if you can cut one end off and show a close up of the end grain it will be obvious

Folks will need a much better close up of the wood, preferably planed or sanded to show the grain structure.
You should be looking for distinctive figuring dependant on cut orientation as can be see here.

Or if it is imported from outside Europe then one of these.

Looks like tanalised softwood to me.

I don't have any sand paper or saw ATM, I'll try and get one, but how about these pics?

I would say Beau nailed it, treated softwood.

Sorry but that's as far as I could go.

Could speculate and say southern yellow pine but just a guess really.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah definitely softwood.

Probably spruce or scots pine.
