    Well the smooth bark and ripples make me think beech, but honestly I've never seen the inside of a round. Could be a younger maple as well.

    I don't know. Looks like beech. Tree of heaven also has smooth bark, but does get a little furrowed when older.

    You said it smells good.. So maybe Magnolia? It has smooth bark also?
