"I was kind of skeptical about whether the wood would look as good as it did on the website. When I opened the box I was more than pleasantly surprised. Not only was the wood as advertised, it is something that I would have paid considerably more for at my local wood store."
"The delivery time from Ontario to Nova Scotia was faster than any Amazon product."
"There was a small issue with my order and they took care of it in minutes. Literally minutes. This was my first purchase and I will definitely be a repeat customer."
"This was the third time I ordered from here and every time the product has been great, every phone call answered was great help and very quick delivery."
"Unlike Home Depot or Lowe's, these boards were straight as, you guessed it, a board!"
8/4 Hickory Lumber – 5-Pack | Kiln-Dried Hardwood | S2S
Hickory is one of North America's hardest and toughest domestic hardwood, and 8/4 hickory is an absolute workhorse. Its creamy white sapwood paired with rich tan to brown heartwood creates a bold, high-contrast appearance that brings energy and character to any build. With a Janka hardness rating of 1,820 lbf, Hickory outperforms virtually every other domestic species in strength and shock resistance — the same properties that made it the wood of choice for axe handles, wagon wheels, and ladder rungs for centuries.
This 8/4 hickory stock is surfaced 2 sides (S2S) to 1-7/8" and machines well with sharp tooling and slower feed rates. Keep blades fresh and take controlled passes. Hickory rewards patience with a finish that is as tough as it looks.
