Hickory
|
|
The classical Greek word for nut is Hickory. There are 16 species and 20 varieties of Hickory in North America. The largest stands of true Hickory are in the lower Mississippi Valley region. Light cream in color and extremely tough, the most important species is called shagbark. It is often used in the making of skis, molding, bent plywood and veneers. The combination of hardness, strength, toughness and stiffness is not to be beat by any other wood. Nearly 80 percent of true Hickory is used in the making of tool handles. |

| Shown here in Natural Wash with a 30 Gloss Urethane topcoat, but you decide the look of your T. Morton wood floor. Although wood’s natural color always feels right to us, a wipe, wash or stir might be your choice. You decide width and length, too. And surface treatment – Hand Sculpted, Hand Scraped and the like. If a Gloss topcoat isn’t for you, opt for the more subtle Hand-rubbed Oil or classic Wax finishes. Share your ideas with us. Together, we can achieve the T. Morton floor that’s yours alone. |
