Top one cherry. Bottom maybe maple?

To me.... The top looks like Olive wood and the bottom maple burl. Just my guess...

figured cherry and maple. Some of the lines in the cherry are called pitch or gum lines.

Top looks live olive and the bottom maple.
Bottom looks like some sort of maple possible curley maple. Top I don't know I've seen canary wood about that color but not that grain.

My same thinking for the top one being cherry!
Well now we've narrowed it down enough to "pick two" call them that and say "that's my story and I'm stickin' to it" to anyone who asks.

Although my initial reaction to the top one was olive , I think cherry is probably correct . Olive has a distinctive smell when turned , cherry much less so - very slightly sweet , occasionally maraschino smell .

Thanks for all the inputs. Conclusion - The front piece has been narrowed down to curly maple. The other has split beyond saving while working on it. Too embarassing to say how.
As Smitty said it will be one - maple and will stick to the name. LOL
Thanks again
