Wood type ID help needed

[GoodTurns]

Got two pieces that I'm not sure of the wood type. Would appreciate any help!

Chestnut??? (Nail holes or worm holes).

Are the two of the same wood? Looks different to me. The one on the right looks close to red oak grain.

Two different pieces. I was looking at oak for the smaller piece.

I would guess cherry and red oak.

The larger piece looks like a grilled pork chop. I too am leaning towards oak for the smaller, I've never really gotten a good handle on differentiating between the different oak species, but if say red oak if I was forced to guess.

I would go red oak on the smaller piece and cedar, because of the grill marks, on the larger piece. If the larger smells like fish, definitely a cedar grilling plank. Lol

The strip of wood could be related to Hairy Oak family of timbers.

I have found that use of a bit of sandpaper makes wood I D a bit easier Jon . Minus that , MRDucks2 suggestion sounds right , but may not smell right . The two drilled holes in the other are intriguing . Was it from a local piece of furniture ? The rays do look red oakish , but what does the end grain look like ?

The little piece looks like hairy oak with larger and fewer dark stripes

Actually from a trim piece from a house

Trim from Inside or outside of the house

How old is the house?
My first guess on the straight rectangular piece resembles some elm I acquired from my father some years ago
