[Woodworkers] Identify species...

Brian,
I'm going to guess that maybe it's either Hickory or maybe Maple. I've never seen Ash with that much brown in it, but that doesn't  mean anything. lol.
If you find out, please let us know

Hey Folks -
 
I'm finally back in the states after 5 years living abroad, and starting to get my garage shop set back up. Part of that is acquiring some lumber. Yesterday I picked up 14 boards, all 4/4 x 100" x 6" or 8", species unknown. I've attached two photos, one of a board that still had a bit of bark on it, and another showing the grain. Based on that I'm thinking it's oak, but the gentleman I picked it up from thought it might be hard maple. He's had it sitting in his garage for over 10 years, so the memory is likely fuzzy. 
 
Normally I wouldn't care, but I'm going to be trading some with my uncle and would like to be able to tell him what it is. So, any ideas?
 
Thanks Folks!
 
-Brian
