Question on wood for bow?

[pintail_drake2004]

Hey yall, i have a couple of trees that need to come down, and i was wondering if they would be suitable for bow woods.? one is an apple tree (Malus pumila), a Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) the other is a Boxelder (Acer negundo). I know they prolly aint the best woods, but i have my eye on a couple hedge trees in the area and i also have a dozen hickory billets that have been drying for 3-5years.
I was just asking, if they are not good bow woods they will be cut and used for fire wood.
Thanks

The apple and Hawthorn should both be good bow wood. I have never used either but have read that most fruit and nut trees will make good bows.   Pat
