Probably pignut--best bow hickory. Bitternut has 7 to 11 leaflets. This has 5.

Looks like Pignut to me, it makes a great bow, just keep it dry as you work it. :)

This bark is reallyour sticking.  What's your experience with hickory bark/cambium? I can get the bark off but there is still quite a bit of cambium.  I had one stave check on the back when I left the cambium on.

Many people leave cambium in the low spots. Gives a good camo to the finished back.

After mid summer the bark glues itself on. I cut 17 hickory staves several years ago in late summer, it took me a couple of weeks to get all the bark and cambium off them, very labor intensive.
