Characteristics

​

• Color: The color varies significantly from the light, creamy yellow of the sapwood to the darker, richer tones of the heartwood, which can be tan, brown, or reddish.

• Grain: The grain can be straight and tight, but it also often features irregular waves, knots, and swirls.

• Versatility: Hickory's natural color and grain variations make it adaptable to many design styles. It can be used for a rustic, natural look or stained to achieve a more uniform, modern appearance. 

• Hardness: This high density makes it extremely resistant to dents and scratches.
