Probably blackthorn - but I'v never seen a bow made from it
I'm experimenting with hornbeam (not the american hop hornbeam which is a completely different tree)
Hazel tends to stay bent when you bend it so although it's durable and strong it's not really springy. Might be improved with a bit of heat. I'm playing with that too.
I don't think that matter too much. But the trunk is likely to have straighter grain and bigger growth rings, both of which are normally considered advantageous.
My local FC woods has a fair bit of red oak, the fallen leaves look pretty at the moment. I'm praying for a blow down so I can do my civic duty and remove it to clear the path .
