There are 3 or 5 oaks that have lobes shaped like that. My 1st thought was yellow oak. Regardless its an oak in the white oak side of the genus. Chestnut oak has a very thick almost cork like bark in appearance . See a fair amount of chestnut oak at the fire wood processor  come out of the ridge tops from loggers.

It looks like a chestnut oak. I started my bow making with it. It makes a decent selfbow, but not great. Possibly better than maple. Do not leave it on the ground too long after cutting it down.
