Wood help!

[RGleason]

Picked this up for free today. The person said it was apple, cherry, peach or pear? I have no clue. Any wood experts out there?! I would greatly appreciate it!
This is what I got:

Crappy pics --- hope someone can identify what i got!

I can get more pics if needed

Not sure, but I think it's apple. The bark doesn't look like any pear that I've ever seen. Also, the peach and cherry that I've used have more color to the wood.

+ 1 on apple

Burn a bit and see what it smells like.

 

[P. Kelly]

Apple looks like a supply that I always cook with.

 

[Russ Sylvester]

Definately not pear. Pear wood normally has almost a purplish hue to it and it has a very strong aroma.

If you break open a branch or saw on it, what does the freshly opened piece smell like? Apple smells, well, like an apple.

It could be peach. I've got a lot of peach and it looks quite similar.

That second pic looks identical to some old peach I have in the garage, so does the cut-thru on the third pic.
Either way nice score..

Ok had a chance to take more pics and cut some of it up:

 

[Dave Russell]

I was just out at the shed and it looked different from my peach. My apple's bark has long been gone, but I'm still leaning that way.

 

[Geir Widar]

Looks like apple, but it also looks like it has grown alot faster than my apple wood. I live in arctic conditions, and that might have something to do with it.

Heat some and smell. That's the best test.

 

[Sparky Rowe]

i got 4 cherry trees. some of it is cherry wood.

 

[Jon Des.]

I think it is apple, peach and cherry. And I think the larger piece is 16 years old.

I think it is apple, peach and cherry. And I think the larger piece is 16 years old.

Any chance you can give me pointers on which is which based on my photos?

It definitely looks like a "fruit" wood so just go with it. You may be able to tell more when you smell the smoke. Great find.
