    I'm not good at these but I'll guess the top is an oak.

    I will second ash and pine in the first and red oak in the second. Can't say about the mulberry in the first picture though. I've never cut any.

    Same here. I've never cut out burned mulberry. Otherwise, those are the kinds of wood I'd say those are..

    Mulberry is the yellow Heartwood with lighter sap wood in the first pic, pine is on the bottom of the stack. Idk the middle though. Mulberry is GREAT farwood. One of my favorites.

    Sorry for not being clear.

    Middle row first pic is what idk. It looks like ash but I haven't seen live ash in my parts in 8+ years. I don't really remember what it looks like.

    First pic bottom left looks like its rapidly becoming compost. The rest looks like there are some other oddballs in it besides the mulberry,ash and pine.

    It does take a lot of practice to figure it out but if you keep at it you will learn them. A varied pile like that is a good place to pick up quite a bit. The humbling thing is that you can only know what you have seen. Travel somewhere else or look at pictures of something you have never seen and you know nothing.
