Hickory Lumber
Hickory is a very strong and durable hardwood, prized for its toughness and shock resistance. It is an excellent choice for applications where strength and impact resistance are important.
Hickory is known for being one of the hardest and strongest domestic hardwoods. It is heavy, dense, and has good bending strength, though it can be difficult to work with hand tools.
For a rustic look, some hickory boards may have nice contrasting sapwood and heartwood and is referred to as calico hickory.
