I don't see any rays so oak is out. Can you get a better end grain shot (cleaned up and closer) ?
What’s left of the bark looks kinda like cherry.
Looks like 'Black Cherry' with some resin wood from shake or ice damage. Also has white rot.
Looks like someone started to cut bowl blanks and remove the pith.

thats the best I can do with my phone I don't have a camera
Did not know you had a third unknown. Did it not have bark? Your first was American black cherry, the second, American beech and your third unknown looks to be another piece of beech.
