Hickory products and applications

Hickory is often chosen for floors and stairs where pronounced grain and a rustic appearance are part of the design. Consider the range of light and dark boards alongside nearby cabinets, stone, and trim.

Profiles and dimensions

For flooring, include the finished board width, thickness, and joining profile. For stair work, provide tread dimensions and quantity. A renovation request should describe the existing floor and the match you want.

Appearance and finish

Creamy-white sapwood and tan-to-chocolate heartwood create Hickory’s familiar calico appearance. Discuss the desired color range and finish before selecting material. Your installer should confirm acclimation, fastening, and finishing requirements for the particular product.

Grades and appearance

Describe the appearance you want for your Hickory project, including knots, color variation, and the faces that will be visible. Include the grade from your plans or the product you want to match. We will confirm the grade, dimensions, and availability with your quote.
