Tough, intense, beautiful Hickory
Hickory is one of Nature’s toughest woods with a tensile strength that rivals steel. It is also one of nature’s most beautiful woods, Cabinetmakers in particular have long admired its striking contrasting patterns of clear yellow and rich brown heartwood. These same qualities also make a natural Hickory floor nothing short of breathtaking – a bold one-of-a-kind statement that commands attention in any formal or informal setting.
Variations in the grade of hickory hardwood flooring can can result in quite significantly different looking floors. The degree of colour variation, from quite white to a reddy brown, and the amount of natural character marks like knots and sap pockets can make the flooring look extremely rustic or quite refined.
Thus it is essential that you get either some great pictures that illustrate the grade you are buying or an in-store view of the same. All hickory floors are beautiful but not necessarily perfect for your decorating agenda.
This is partly due to the fact that hickory flooring is somewhat of a mixture of woods, 4 types of "true hickory" and one "pecan hickory", each species with different degrees of colour variation and degree of natural defects.
