Pro Tip:
Hickory is a very resilient wood: it is hard, stiff, and dense. This combination of qualities is not often found in other types of commercial woods. Hickory is a great choice for tool handles and other items that require the wood to be shock resistant. Although popular for its durability in resisting wear, hickory must be well taken care of to avoid rot.
