Not sure what these two are. I am thinking both are bitternut hickory.

White walnut I think for the first one.
Smells just like hickory when cutting and burning it.
Beech I think for the second.

Beech I think for the second.
ditto on hackberry for the first one. I'm thinking buckeye based on the appearance of the bark on #2 but I can't recall ever cutting one to see the wood
Bitternut normally has a bigger darker center than that one shows unless it is pretty small. Hard to give it scale from your pic. Here are 2 pics of bitternut from our area.
Your second pic is definitely not bitternut. I'm not seeing it as Beech or hackberry either.

Bitternut Hickory nuts are very distictive and a LOT different than Mockernut. These were what the nuts looked like around the tree shown in my post. Mockernut has a rougher bark from what I have found.
Another vote for hackberry in the first pic.

there both the same. I think hackberry too.
Buckeye tree

Both hackberry.
If the wood really stinks, then it's Ohio Buckeye. And if it doesn't, then hackberry.
And I'm an OSU fan too, so don't go thinkin' otherwise!
Yes, Ohio Buckeye has a REALLY bad stench....

In over 40 years of cutting I've never come across a hackberry tree with a dark center that big. The are all white around here. That and the cambium area doesn't have that much tan/brown showing. When you break the rough outer bark it is not that brown either. Here are a couple pics of hackberry from my burn pile.
10 inch round
12 inch dry rounds
Dry round with bark cut with hatchet. Note the dull gray to white color.
Close to 4 ft diameter hackberry, see the hatchet?
Bark does not have the brown inclusions like his first pic. I scraped some fresh off and even it has more gray and white in it.
I have a couple buckeye trees here but can't say that I've ever cut any of it to verify. I n both of your pics that bark looks WAY too smooth to be like ANY hackberry I've ever cut.

The first I am not familiar with but the second one is a diseased beech. I have many of them on my property and once I see the affected bark I cut the tree down. It'll just rot away if you don't.

I had some hackberry in the load, but it looked different.
