To  make a good quality identification, we need good quality photos! A close-up of clean end grain is a big help.....some background info can also be a big help - is it from UK growth or exotic etc.
For what it's worth, I'd say it's walnut, but as I say, based on the paucity of info that you've provided, that's more a guess than a worthwhile identification.

Agree with Les that ID would be easier with better and closer images. Does look like english walnut though with the heart amnd sap wood.
