Need Some tree IDs

If those buds are from the first tree, I'd say you have bitternut hickory.

I was thinking bitternut at first until I read that the bark on pignut is smooth sometimes and the bark on the upper part of this tree are fairly smooth.  The numbers on pignut look slightly better than bitternut but probably not much difference when it comes down to it.

Here is a cross section pic of the top with some bark left on, peeled the rest before thinking to take the picture.

Nice rings ! What ever you have looks like bow wood to me.

I was thinking bitternut because of the stalked buds. If there is any fuzziness on the newest twigs, it could be mockernut, too. Several of the hickories have bark like that. Any kind of hickory will make a good bow if you get it dry.

Hick and persimmon - my stab in the dark.
