Add rugged strength and bold natural contrast to your next project with Hickory.
Known as one of the hardest and toughest domestic hardwoods, Hickory stands out for its dramatic colour variation and unmistakable grain. Creamy white sapwood paired with rich tan to brown heartwood creates striking visual contrast that brings energy and character to any build.
Ideal for flooring, cabinetry, furniture, workbenches, cutting boards, and high use surfaces, Hickory is built for projects that need both durability and presence.
