Looks like 2 species there? Hickory on the bottom
Looks a lot like ash to me. A close up of the end grain would help.
Ash are the ones on the bottom of the pile. My first reaction is soft maple, more likely a red maple. Tree bark looks a lot different in different growing conditions and areas of the country.
I know the bottom is ash
The top one with the shaggy bark is the one in question
Looks like Basswood to me.
My vote is Pignut Hickory. Looks a lot like ash when cut. All the best, Rob.
