Wood haul & Tree confirmation

[THOaken]

Hello, everyone. Bushwackerbob was kind enough to drive down to my house and drop off quite a load of wood for me to carve. He also gave me a spare crook knife and a strop too. So I've got Willow, Sycamore, Ash and Birch. Now, I've no doubt the labeling is correct, but I'm curious because to my novice eyes it looks like the bark of Sycamore belongs to that of Ash, perhaps because of those grey splodges. I believe I've seen similar splodges on Ash, but perhaps that doesn't only occur on Ash but on other species. But at the same time I don't think I've ever seen Ash bark as green as the picture below. By no means am I trying to say Sean is wrong, it's just for my education. Care to clear it up?

Collection:

Possible label mix up between ash and sycamore?
Ash:

I thought ash was grey and furrowed. It doesn't look like ash to me because it's not grey. Confusing.

Sycamore (It reads Sycamore. I can't figure out why it's upside down):

Also, now that its Spring time I'd also like some confirmation on whether or not I have two young Sycamore trees in my Garden. And an Ash, too, but I'm fairly certain of that.

Sycamore 1?

Sycamore 2?

Ash?

Again, thanks for the haul and the tool, Bushwacker.

Ash can be smooth barked in it's formative years and then slowly develops the cracking and fissures of a mature tree.

I'd say Bob's ID was spot on looking at those barks

I don't doubt him, it's just my confused novice analysis that's getting muddled up.

Do you reckon they're two Sycamores in my garden?

Yup

Something that also supports their being Sycamores is that they have the drooping flowers which are said to appear around this time.

I can assure you they are correctly labeled, but I had the advantage of seeing the rest of the trees. As far as bark id goes in the woodland the Ash have a green/grey hue whereas the bark of sycamore has a more reddish appearance. On young, short sections they have a similar textures and colour but if you saw whole trunks side by side you would notice the difference. On older trees the sycamores stay smooth whereas the ash develops fissures.

The top picture of the tree is sycamore, the bottom picture with black buds and pinnate leaves is an ash.
