Hickory is an excellent choice for furniture due to its innate strength, density, and character. We source our hickory from the American southeast where it is harvested in late fall and through mid-winter when its moisture content is low. From here it is kiln-dried to further remove moisture and the bark tightens around the logs during the process providing a truly beautiful texture, and a time-tested look and durability. Our Hickory Log Collection also features live-edge bark trim around its tops to further accentuate the piece. When added to the gorgeously complex graining patterns, it creates a timeless look that furthers its rustic appeal.
