Certainly not hickory :)

Pappy:
Looks like BL to me also, where is the knot in the stave ?

M2A:
Looks like a ring has been chased on that stave, however looks like there is extra material still over top the knot. If thats the case, I'd try and remove the extra to get it to the same ring as rest of the back. By doing so it may decrease the size of the knot enough that you could eliminate it. Sometimes a couple growth rings can add alot of mass around a knot like that.   Looks like the knot in question runs closer to the side the farther it gets to the belly of the stave.  Just a thought.
