Hackberry would be mine too, you can bend it into circles with a little bit of heat.

I've wanted to try some more Cherrybark oak, I think it would change people's opinion on what red oak can do.

Built a hackberry molle. Love it. I'll set off to the woods next week and see what I come up with.
I know where there is hackberry and pignut hickory, elm too. Losts of locust around but by the highways.

I've only used it in board form, but I do like maple.
