I say it's a type of oak. But to be certain, can we see a view of the end grain, and the back(s)?

I knew what I wanted to get into when I retired (carving was one thing) and bought tools for years before I did retire. I'd recommend figuring out what you really want to do. Did you buy carving tools with an eye on retirement, as something to do, when you were still working?...
