American Hickory.  Carya.

A truly American hardwood, Hickory is a hard and heavy wood that has been used for ax and hammer handles, wagon wheels, golf club shafts, and drumsticks. It offers excellent impact resistance.

Select/Premium grade wide plank New England Hickory is our highest grade of Hickory flooring.  This floor is a blend of clear grain and knotted grain.

You may be familiar with the Shagbark variety (Carya ovata) of Hickory which is easily recognized by its long shaggy strips of bark. Hickory is denser than other hardwoods of the northern forest, including maple and oak.

The contrast between hickory’s cream colored sapwood and warm brown heartwood creates a light and dark striated appearance that is equally at home in a traditional or modern setting.

Full disclosure: Hickory is known to exhibit slight separation between boards when exposed to severe fluctuations in humidity. This is because there is a lot of tension in this very hard and durable wood. Some folk do not mind seasonal separation, but others do; that's why we mention it. Call us if you have any questions about whether Hickory is the right wood for you.
