White Hickory
Badger:
Do any of you know anthing about white hickory? I have a wood source in Mississippi, that told me he is getting ready to saw up some white hickory logs and was wanting to knw if I could use it for backings, he says the white hickory has no heartwood and is white all the way through, thanks for any info on this. Steve
Pat B:
Steve, Get a botanical mane. I have never heard of white hickory. Must be a caloquial term(common mane). Pat
marvin:
hmmm, never heard of white hickory either but I have seen hickory that didn't have a typically darker heartwood area.
Badger:
I have seen a lot of hickory in mississippi that had an unussually thick sapwood, maybe just a variation of a common hickory. My wood man refers to it as white hickory and says it is on the rare side. He doesn't know a botanical name for it. Steve
tom sawyer:
White hickory is Carya tomentosa.
Never heard of it myself.
