Help identifying these two tree species

Awfully hard to tell from a small pic of the trees bark.

I went out and looked at some of the pieces I have drying in the garage.

To me it doesn't look like black cherry, red oak, shagbark hickory, lodge pole pine or aspen. Closest pieces I have with similar appearance are silver maple (doubtful) and eastern cottonwood.

I have seen those horizontal bands on the bark of some choke berry bushes I have growing on my property. Maybe that's it?

Thanks for the topic norson. I have now discovered that I have been mistakenly calling my shrubby trees choke berry when in fact they are choke cherry! As far as where the wood came from the USDA web site shows it occurs naturally in TN.
