Hickory Hardwood Flooring

The hickory tree is common throughout North America. This very large tree grows to heights of up to 160 feet and can grow up to seven feet in diameter. Some of the oldest hickory trees have been around for approximately 350 years. For centuries, hickory has been an important species of lumber, thanks to its extreme hardness. The smoke of hickory wood has been used to cure meats.

Hickory is often used to construct objects like bows, drumsticks, wheel spokes and hardwood floors. In the early days of the sport, it was also used to create baseball bats. It is known to be a very good turning wood and leaves a very nice finish.
