Shellbark Hickory?? Likely not... unless Dogsout lives in extreme southeast Iowa.
There are four different types of Hickory that grow in Iowa; the Mockernut and Shellbark are quite rare and found only in the extreme southeast corner. The Bitternut and Shagbark are fairly common throughout most of Iowa except the northwest corner.
I don't know what that wood is, not enough clues for me to make an ID... but unless Dogsout lives southeast of Mount Pleasant the chances of it being Shellbark Hickory are virtually zilch, zip, nada, zero.
