Trying to figure out what kind of wood I have here. Picked it up from a local tree cutting place and slabbed up a few pieces. I am in Southern California. The taller one had brown saw dust when I ripped it up with the chain saw. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the help so far everyone, I'm leaning towards the cherry right now do to the curl I see in the glare of the sun for the taller pieces. This is what I have done with them, just need some oil on them, should bring the grain out nicely. Also another small cutoff piece of the taller cuts that has been sanded with some danish oil applied to see if that helps the guessing game. The smaller cut I'm leaning towards birch but is there birch in so cal?
