I know it’s hickory but difficult to tell if butternut, pignut or shag bark ?

The shagbark I know (especially of the age of your trunks) would flake out more than this. So I think it's not shagbark.

I wasn’t sure about the shagbark, I don’t have much experience with them. I thought maybe it could have looked like it in spots but not sure

I am 90% sure it’s pignut but wanted someone’s opinion with more experience

That was my first thought as well - not very shaggy!

Definitely hickory. Bark looks similar to these three: mockernut (Carya tomentosa) , pignut (Carya glabra) or red (Carya ovalis).
Mockernut has thick husk covering the nut (and pubescent twigs), while mockernut and red are thin husked.
Looks like a couple sawlogs worth if you can mill it.

Pretty sure it is pig nut. It’s nice stuff for sure . A bit tough to split but very nice wood after it’s seasoned

Not shagbark more than likely pignut or bitternut either way great firewood
