Description
American Hickory. Carya.
Quarter and rift sawn Hickory is available in natural or select grade. 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.
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.
