Oregon (Douglas Fir) almost certainly - and the density of oregon can vary greatly - largely due to from where in the tree it was sawn, the size and age of the tree, and where it was grown.

Canadian sourced oregon is generally denser (as it is slower growing) than US oregon, but not always. Much oregon here in the last 30 years or has come from NZ and it is faster growing and not as dense as the north american timber.

Oregon is a light low density wood...

My guess is red pine, is it a reddish colour its hard to tell from the pics?
