It’s definitely treewood!

Cherry from me

 

[whereistheceilidh]

All Birch. There is bark variation along the length of the trunk with rougher towards the base. Bark too pale for cherry.

 

[mwinfrance]

I've got some Merisier..( wild cherry ) Prunus avium here. That I saw cut down a year ago ( I mark the species and the date on the ends when i set logs up to air dry ) drying as short logs ( there are still 5 more trees standing in the same garden with actual cherries on them at the moment not 50 metres from me as I type this ) that would beg to disagree with you.

 

[--Tom--]

The lenticels visible in the bark are common with betula (birch) and prunus species. They’re also common with aspen but it doesn’t look like aspen.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes, but that's much redder than any birch I've ever used.

then come north sir. It is just like the birch I have in the shed.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Like all those sheets of red birch ply?

More pink than red. Suspect none of the birch from around here is good enough for ply.
Wood, especially UK wood like oak, ash...& birch.... can have variations in colour & grain due to the environment it grows in. Just sayin......
That is what makes id contentious. If there were still leaves then that would help.
You want it to be cherry then it is cherry
