I will start the guess with
Beech

You might need to plane a bit up and take some better photos, very hard to tell from those ones. Not beech though, bark is too rough.

Edit - end grain would be useful too

 

[Armagh]

Possibly Elm?

Looks like ash. Marked olive heartwood and no obvious sapwood

 

[Kalimna]

Ash was my thought too, based on the grain and olive appearance.

Yep...Ash 100%. The tight olive heartwood in the planed piece, the bark and the dullish cream on the sawn long grain surfaces. I've turned a great deal of Ash that I've processed directly from the tree and what it looks like is....that

 

[Tetsuaiga]

I thought Ash, the bark matches too.
