Wood Species

Hickory Wood

One of the hardest and strongest domestic hardwoods, hickory features dramatic grain variation and color contrast ranging from creamy white sapwood to dark brown heartwood within the same board. Hickory cabinetry delivers a bold, rustic character that is impossible to replicate with other species. It is exceptionally durable but harder to machine, and its pronounced grain makes it ideal for stained or natural finishes in farmhouse and lodge-style kitchens.
