Good deal BC. Not all leaves of the same type tree will look exactly the same, especially on younger (saplings) trees.  Usually, b/c they are in the understory (in the shadows of larger trees), their leaves may be larger and slightly rounder--probably an adaptation to capture as much sunlight as possible.  That's just my opinion from personal experience.  Liquid Amber could probably give us a great deal of information as well. He's a real forester! Very cool!  :cool:  Glad to see other plant geeks besides myself on board!  :thumbsup:

Oh yea, now everything is so clear.  Not.  

Well, you know I am 95% sure its a hickory and that good enough for me to build a bow out of.  Or atleast try.

Thanks guys for your help.
