Can anyone ID this lumber species?

[Mark Hepburn]

I just found these boards going through my stuff. For the life of me I cannot identify what species they are.

I looked and looked, but there was no little label on them.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

That one on the left looks like yellow hart

Thanks Gerald. I'm making up some knife scales to sell on Ebay and going through some of my smaller pieces. Much appreciated!

Take a close up picture of the end grain so that I can compare it to the canary wood that I have.

Hmm, can't tell from the end grain picture, but the flat grain is typical for California Bay Laurel, aka Oregon Myrtle wood. It has 2 distinct smells, when fresh from a healthy tree, it smells kind of sweet spicy, when from an aging stressed tree, it smells like a horse stall before cleaning....
