Are these cherry logs?

[MRD1985]

Looks like it to me, but looking for confirmation. Thanks.

hard to tell from the pics, but i'd guess probably not cherry.
Maybe closer clearer pics will say otherwise.
only 50% confidence in my guess.

Looks like cherry to me, at least the 1st photo does

To me it does not look like cherry, neither the bark (too ridged, too linear in its ridge), nor the wood that for the cherry I know has a much stronger difference in color between sapwood and heartwood. Very white sapwood on the cut end and (relatively) much darker heartwood.
The front laying rounds are cherry, look at the bark. The color difference is not that clear here - maybe the drying is doing that.

But maybe that's my cherry; there are multiple kinds...

front row cherry for sure,
back row sassafrass?
oak on the far right?

 

[MRD1985]

If not cherry, then my next guess is possibly pine. What else do you think it could be?

yes, yes, and yes - but I wasn't asking, just giving example of my cherry (as I think the OP's stuff is not (the same cherry I have)).
This is from June 2020 and I'm burning it now

Your cherry looks like my cherry, lol. The bark in the ops photo could be a variation but the color of the wood is a bit puzzling in two of the photos

 

[stoveliker]

This is the cherry pic I was looking for.
When it's wet (freshly cut, see the cookies on the ground - though some of that is oak as well), the sapwood on the cut end is darker than the heartwood, and on the split surface it's the other way around. I'll never forget that.
When the cut end dries, it changes until it almost reverses.

Might be a stretch, but is it possible they're Red Oak logs? From a distance the bark with lichen looks a lot like some of our northern red oak, plus I'm going off of the red tint of the heartwood, particularly when cut green/wet I've seen some look that dark of red before.

At a first initial glance I thought maybe, but the reddish sapwood right below/at the bark dismissed that possibility in my eyes. I thought either cherry or my second guess is possibly red pine, but not sure.

 

[stoveliker]

I think the sapwood is also thicker than what I am used to.

Yeah, i know but thought i'd just add some more wood id comments.

Seeing that I just loaded my stove with what I know is Cherry, it is Black Cherry.

I have burned a lot of black cherry and it does not look like any of that I have burned? 🤔
