Hickory wood

Hickory (Carya spp.) is a hardwood species native to North America, commonly found in the eastern United States and parts of Canada.

It is exceptionally strong, tough, and elastic, with a density of 750–830 kg/m³, making it ideal for tool handles, sports equipment, and flooring. The heartwood ranges from light to medium brown, while the sapwood is pale cream, often creating a striking contrast. Hickory’s coarse texture and straight to wavy grain give it a rustic charm, making it popular for furniture and cabinetry. Its durability and timeless appearance ensure it remains a versatile and valued material.
