Character Grade Hickory
 
Appearance

The sapwood of hickory is white, tinged with inconspicuous fine brown lines while the heartwood is pale to reddish brown. Both are coarse-textured and the grain is fine, usually straight but can be wavy or irregular. There are often desirable patterns of pronounced differentiation in color between spring wood and summer wood.
