Ok, need help with 3 different pieces. I will post them in 3 different threads as to not confuse people.
I picked up a load of firewood at the compost site other day as usual, and i come across all three of these specimens often. Nough said
#1. Rather soft cutting, ignore the black marks ( my bandsaw has carbon guides and this wood is really wet)
it browns after a day or so on the heart wood, sap wood stays a light white. . the leaves were from a smaller piece of this tree. and Yes i took a lot of cuttings , so hopefully some will root.
twig wood is light redish brown. has a very slight sweet smell

heartwood almost looks like red oak without the flecks in it, the sapwood is much like popple.
