Timmyd -

The leaves are actually simple leaves (single "leaf blade"), not compound.  Those in the picture are just showing a twig that happens to have 5 leaves.  The leaf number on a twig can vary.

I still don't think it is black gum.   Black gum will make a good bow but the wood has interlocking grain and it is a bear to split...even more so than elm.

Blackgum also tends to have 90 degree branching and the leaves will occasionally have the devils horns.  I would suggest id by buds.

It's either black gum or cucumber tree, leaning towards black gum.  Cucumber tree has bigger leaves than black gum
