Wood/Tree Identification

The Hammer

Hey, it's your resident Hammer here. Is anyone able to identify wood type via picture? I'm not good with trees in the PNW where I live. I am making a staff, for reasons, but would really like to know what kind of tree it is from. Attaching some pictures. The first two pictures are similar in look and feel to what I have grabbed. While the third photo looks like it could be a dry version of the same type of branch, and the last photo is of a tree that looks like it could be related. Any help friends?

Google image search says the first image is pond pine, the second is wood, the third is mexican pinyon and the fourth is canoe birch. Sooo...probably none of these...:D

You are from the US, aren't you? In Europe I would suspect that 1 and 2 are alder / black alder because few other trees have such a typical dark bark and reddish brown wood. But I'm lost at American botany.

Yeah, pacific Northwest of the US. I don't think it's black alder because the first two pictures the wood is wet from the rain.
