Default Mystery Wood

Well, at least it's a mystery to me. I'm hoping someone might be
kind enough to help me identify some wood I've come across. I've
tried looking at some sites on the Internet that show pictures of
different species of wood, but I just don't know enough about what I'm
looking at. Here's some pictures of what I'm trying to identify:

I recently acquired a piece of broken furniture and I'm taking it
apart to reuse the wood. The original piece appeared to be a futon
frame.

The pictures show some bits from the piece, after I ran it through
my planer to dimension and remove the finish. It would seem to be
some type of soft wood as I can make an indentation in it with a
finger nail if I try.

Thanks!
