Hickory
Hickory is the hardest of the indigenous wood species. It is twice as hard as oak. Hickory is not a single wood species. Hickory is a mixture of pignut, shagbark, pecan and bitternut hickory. Hickory Wood has an eye catching appeal because of its dramatic appearance in the grain, dark brown strips and the sapwood is often white with pinkish tones. Hickory's high density and resilient surface will stand up to centuries of wear.
