The piece with the large splits looks like laburnum to me depends on thickness as to what you do with it but it is lovely dense hard wood to work.

 

[user 19915]

it,s only about a inch thick and yes i thought laburnum but i am only going by photo.s from the net

Cherry , Laburnum and some burr oak by the looks of it. Not sure on pic 4 and 5

If you can turn,laburnum makes lovely chisel handles,finish with sanding sealer then a bit of wax or Brasso will give you a lovely sheen.
