Oak will have a smell to the wood when split almost live vinegar it's distinct to other woods.

kitchenbags,

Looks like Southern yellow pine, if it is it will smell like turpentine.

I agree with PoD, kitchenbags.  Take a knife and try to press into the cut side:  if it leaves a fairly decent indentation, it's probably a soft pine that you don't want to use.  If it's hard to make an impression, it might be some type of hardwood, but the bark looks like Southern yellow pine to me.  My $0.02.

My first thought was pine but we only have hard woods around here.

I live in northern California. To me the wood looks like Ash.   Ash wood is plentiful around here.  I hope this helps.

Do you have any foliage available. To me, this could be pine, oak or hickory.
