Definitely an elm, could be American or slippery, I'm not familiar whit which species of elm you have there. Most elms are excellent bow wood.

Thanks! I was going to try and make a bow of it no matter what it was, but it's good to know that it's a nice bow wood.

I live right outside of Tulsa Oklahoma in Broken Arrow. I am lucky to have all sorts of trees to pick from around here, but it makes it a bit hard to tell what your getting. I was writing back and forth with a guy here that was going to take me out and help me figure out what was what, but I hadn't heard from him in about a month.
