I want to say yes.  That first one looks kinda like pignut to me.  The bark on those
other two are saying shag but the pieces I have cut have a darker heartwood.

Looks like good wood to me regardless ;)
Everything is nice and straight and you ought to not have a problem with making bows from any of those staves.  Have a good one.

Looks like shagbark but its hickory...It should be a real pain getting the bark off of it ...especially if you let it sit around!

Goodluck,

Yep...Shagbark alright...and it will be a Pain in the Butt.to get the Bark off this time of Year...you can either rehydrate it to remove it...or go slow and scrape it off as good as Possible once it is dry.... I would split it and soak it in the Tub........... >:D

Definitely hickory. Could be shagbark, shellbark, or red pignut depending on what species you have there. The red hickory here usually has that shaggy bark.

That was either mockernut or red pignut, I had both, don't remember which one I gave you. If the bark is smooth, it's mockernut. If it's shaggy, it's red pignut. Whittled on it any yet?
