Is this Cherry?

I'm no expert by a long shot but the annular rings seem too pronounced for cherry. The cherry I'm used to seeing is more homogenous when looking at the end grain. The bark looks a little coarse also.
The only pics I've got:

I don't think so: Black Cherry (Prunus serotina).

I'm not convinced that the leaves in the foreground go with that tree, but the mass of leaves to the right are from a red oak.

This is from a power line easement clearing in our development. Many species, and tops that weren't chipped are scattered everywhere. Per property owner I can get what I want... some accessible, some not so much. Just don't know what's there, except for Ambrosia Maple.... that's pretty distinctive.

Red oak.

leaves look like beech not oak

It could be eastern hop-hornbeam, a very large specimen. We're there any flowers? Is the wood very hard to cut?

Just for kicks, I let Seek try to identify the leaves. It came up with “sweet birch” but the bark is not birch.

Not Cherry. Bark is wrong.

 

[creasman]

Red oak.

If the leaves in the second phot are correct, you might have elm. I have a bit of hop hornbeam and the wood is pretty light, like holly.

Thanks all!

Look closely at the end grain.

Red Oak.

I agree Red Oak

 

[pop-pop]

I agree Red Oak

A quick smell will tell!

Red Oak. Look at the red color in the bark grooves on the piece he is sawing.

 

[marinosr]

Ah I thought we were looking at the leaves in the foreground of the picture, not the red oak leaves on the bottom right. Sure, red oak.

That is 100% NOT cherry. Cherry bark is smoother, not rough like the picture and the cherry leaves are not serrated like the ones in the photo. This tree could be a red oak of some kind.
