Slowly, i stalked her. Watching her every move. Silently moving in for the kill, only to find she was so perfectly tuned to nature i couldn't take the shot. My stomach was growling, yet i couldn't take the shot. My desire to see beauty overpowered my desire to eat.

Is the leaf a single or part of a compound leaf. The fruit looks like some type of hickory.

Looks like a hickory. We don't have that type here but I've seen plenty of pics of hickory with that bark. Pignut?

Lol.. Yea I just chopped down the dogwood.  Now I have to get tools to split them.. I have enough for at least 6 staves.  That hickory, is going to be a challenge. Massive tree. Trying to figure out how I wanna proceed with that.

 Look for a smaller one. They tend to not be lone trees.

"Good for bows?" no way, worst wood ever. matter of fact you dont want to contaminate the rest of the woods around you with that thing. better cut it down and send it to me so i can burn it safely away from all the good trees where your at. lol Tony

Hickory grows together, where there is one large one, thee tend to be several smaller ones. So look around the area and you might find some great sapling staves or even larger trees (it's one of my favorite woods for sapling bows actually.)

Definitely a hickory of some sort.  I'd say you're pretty well set for bow wood. I wish I had hickory on my place.  Josh

I'm in York County S.C.  and if anyone wants some, be my guest to come and get it! lol  i'm in the process of clearing out a spot for a Deer plot.  I'm going to check around that tree later today, and see if i can find some saps.  I split and sealed 4 dogwood staves.. 2  of them i trashed.. had way to many knots and twists.  Today i'll chop down a hickory if i can find a smaller one.
