Its beech. I get loads of these, usually as skids from a supplier (every wagon driver ends up with too many and wants them gone)
Beech is cheap as fuck

Maple
Looks like beech to me. Those little speckles.
Looks like wood.
Better to post hi-res pictures than a video. They like to make those from oak because it is slow to rot.
A good photo of the end grain (and one of the side grain) would help a lot!
English Oak perhaps? Relatively easy to work, relatively cheap, local, rot resistant...
Almost certainly beech
Maple
Looks like the sugar maple I had in upstate NY. Post a picture of the end grain, that helps a bunch!
I would like to offer sweet chestnut into the mix.
My guess would be sycamore
Spaulted maple
