Looks like two elm and a black cherry to me.  I  am almost positive in that ID as I have a lot of these trtees where I grew up.  As for bow wood I know elm can be good but I do not know about cherry for self bows.  I bet it would make nice lams and handles so keep it and have it sawn if you dont plan on making self bows out of it.

Black cherry is a favored wood among wood carvers, because it is very stable when dry and has much less tendency to develop checks and splits than most other woods.
