Northern Hickery
Hickory is the hardest of the Eastern domestic species, famous for its use in axe and hammer handles, and more recently favored as a beautiful yet durable choice for hardwood flooring. Hickory flooring ranges from a light cream to a warm medium brown with occasionally deeper streaks. Hickory wide plank flooring has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years as its distinctive coloration lends itself to many design styles and its durability is nearly unsurpassed. With a water based finish, Hickory flooring retains the bright contrast in colors that makes this hardwood so appealing for flooring applications.
