Hickory is a very durable, flexible wood. Many a child has climbed to the top of
a green hickory sapling to ride it down as it yields to the weight without
breaking.It is strong enough to be used when dried as handles for tools such as
hammers, axes, etc.
When heated with steam for a period of time, Hickory poles can easily be formed
into various unique pieces of furniture.The steamed poles are placed in a jig and
left to dry. They will become very rigid and retain this shape when dry.
