Blue beech, silver maple, hickory and tinder fungus off a birch tree.

Yep, except the maple is sugar sapling and the "hickory" I think is white oak. Here's another pic.

That's a tough one. Going with white oak, but the bark does look pretty Elmy.

Average bow wood. But can make a decent bow if designed right. Needs to be wide

Silver is brittle from what I understand and see when the wind blows. Sugar maple is supposed to be pretty good but I have not made a bow from either. Someone on here made some real long silver maple bows I think?
