Can you identify this wood?

The wife is works at a warehouse and a few people know I make pens. She doesn't know who did it but she found these 2 pieces of wood in her backpack. They are about 10" long. They don't really feel like a hardwood and I don't think it's pine but I could be wrong. Anyone have a guess?
Thanks, Bobby

Not definitive in any way, but they kinda look like cherry to me.

Based on the side view, Poplar came to mind but it's really hard to tell in a warehouse where crates and pallets can differ based on where they are from.
