Top one does look like ash, if it was cut recently you may see what appears to be a very slight reddish stain on the wood, thats ash, outside chance it could be grey poplar but difficult to be certain that its ash without being able to guage the texture. Cant make out the second one at all. Reckon everyone else is right, first one ash.
