Hi had some wood given , probably from some 70s furniture. Could anyone help me ID it ? 3 different looks

I thought the bottom one looked like mahogany so googled.
There are plenty of online image identifiers. https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/428123508301346569/
Fastfaz might chip in.
......
I thought the middle looks like ladderax cabinets and supports. Google suggests  they used Teak so I did an image search for that.
Top looks like Oak but the image is not clear enough.

Hi,
  Without actually seeing the timber I think it's Sapele or a Mahogany type, there are numerous different hard woods out there from different countries with different characteristics but that's my opinion. Hope it helps, just a tip if it is Sapele the grain runs in stripes i.e. grain goes one way when it's planed the next stripe will be 180 degrees opposite running in the other direction so can be tricky to plane (very sharp tools and run the plane at an angle). Hope this helps.
       Cheer's, Pete.

The middle one looks like American black walnut.
