Tree identification, please.

Hello you knowledgeable lot, I picked up some small logs of this timber but have no idea what it is. It is quite dense. I have included some pics of fresh cut and some planed timber.

Bark looks like larch, but the timber doesn't. Frankly I am kinda stumped, but I am sure someone more experienced will come along soon.

It's definitely a hardwood. I was leaning towards a young walnut but the grain structure isn't right. My pal, who is fairly experienced at id-ing stuff, is stumped.

The heart wood looks a little like Robina or black locust  but not quite right . The bark is not quite right either ...............

 The bark doesn't look right, nor the heartwood? But otherwise you think it's Robinia pseudoaccacia?  I thought it was hornbeam, but the bark, sapwood and heartwood doesn't look right!

I wouldnt rule out some sort of Acer

Trouble is with these threads is there is rarely any resolution.

 

 

something simple like Sweet Chestnut maybe.

Oh, not sweet chestnut, I mill a lot of that. That has just reminded me, there is no scent at all from the cut timber.

Mick Dempsey, I would he happy with a good guess!
