Why hickory?

The hardest we offer

Hickory rates about 1,820 on the Janka hardness scale, harder than maple (about 1,450) or oak. It’s a great choice for a busy kitchen.

Bold, natural contrast

Hickory’s pale sapwood and darker heartwood show side by side. We match and blend them so the color flows across each panel, without sudden changes along the glue lines.

Clear or a light stain

Hickory is usually finished clear to show its contrast, and light stains work well too.

No two doors alike

Expect real variation from door to door. That’s what makes a hickory kitchen look like hickory.

Hickory questions

Can I order hickory doors in any size?

Yes. Every hickory door and drawer front is made to the width and height you enter, and the product page shows the price as you go. How to measure

Is hickory hard enough for kitchen cabinets?

Very. At about 1,820 on the Janka scale, hickory is the hardest wood we offer, harder than maple or oak.

Will my hickory doors match each other?

They’ll look like they belong together, but not identical. Hickory has strong natural color variation between its light sapwood and darker heartwood, and we blend the two across each panel.

What finish suits hickory?

A clear topcoat is the most popular, since it shows hickory’s contrast. Light stain colors also work well.

How long does it take?

Every order is made to order. See our current lead times.
