Hickory is a standout hardwood known for its exceptional strength, striking grain patterns, and rich color variations. At The Original Workshop, we appreciate the versatility of hickory in woodworking, using it to craft durable, visually appealing pieces that showcase its natural beauty. This hardwood is favored for its density and impact resistance, making it an excellent choice for furniture, cutting boards, cribbage boards, and decorative carvings.

With a blend of light and dark streaks, hickory brings a unique character to every project. Its rugged charm pairs well with both rustic and modern designs, offering a natural aesthetic that enhances any space. Woodworkers value hickory not only for its resilience but also for its ability to hold fine details in carving and engraving.

Hickory’s durability makes it well-suited for high-traffic and everyday-use items, ensuring longevity without compromising style. Whether finished with a natural oil to highlight its grain or stained for a customized look, this wood adapts beautifully to various woodworking applications.
