But isn't a true hickory.

We have 4 types of Hickory in our area. Mockernut, Pignut, Shagbark, and Shell Bark. The Mockernut bark kind of reminds me of Ash. The Pignut has a tighter bark than Mockernut.
Yesterday I helped a friend get a 6 1/2 foot section of Mockernut that came down from ice buildup. He is just starting to build self bows. Beautiful dark heartwood. Very white under the bark. Nice stuff. Brutally heavy!
Oak DOES NOT EVER HAVE LONG THIN SECTIONS THAT ARE LIKE THIN STRIPS AND LAYERS ON THE TREE.
I will admit, I have trouble with Green Ash and Mockernut Hickory when there aren't any leaves present.
I could see that being an issue. Around here the green ash typically grow like silver maple. Many branches. White ash is a long trunk and few branches.
White oak around here has a much tighter bark, but does seem to have the bicolor heart wood. Those trees drop acorns with a cap that almost completely enshrouds the hull, leaving only a small tip sticking out the bottom.
Yesterday I cut wood this and posted some pics thinking it was Oak. After thinking about it and looking a some tree websites I'm now thinking its Shagbark Hickory. It was a dead,very old, huge tree with at least a 5ft dia. trunk.
Can you guys look at this pic of the bark and tell if its Shagbark Hickory?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, white oak does. I see it on most mature trees 20-30ft up the trunk.
There is one 30ft from my parents house right now.
It's easy as hell to tell the difference between ash and hickory here in SE Michigan.
If the tree is still alive, it ain't ash!
Thats very odd bro... I've never seen it like that, it's always been a smoother bark thats not layered. Can you take a pic for me??? I'd appreciate seeing that for future reference bro...
White Oak. The bark towards the top of the tree is starting to look similar to what was posted at the beginning of this thread.
that tree had metal in it didn't it??
