Hickory: Bold Natural Contrast for a High-Character Statement Surface
Hickory does not fade into the background. Its dramatic light and dark color variation, strong grain, and rugged personality make it the right Signature Blended Grain choice when you want the countertop to become a focal point.
The blended edge grain layout amplifies Hickory's natural contrast, creating a surface with movement, energy, and unmistakable hardwood character. Every top has its own mix of creamy sapwood tones, deeper brown heartwood tones, and bold grain lines, so no two finished pieces look alike.
Hickory is especially compelling in farmhouse kitchens, rustic modern spaces, cabins, lodges, bars, worktables, and large islands where strength of character is part of the design. It pairs well with painted cabinetry, black accents, stone, brick, and other natural materials.
This is a made-to-order premium hardwood top, not a limited stock panel. Choose dimensions up to 84 inches deep by 192 inches long, thicknesses from 1 inch to 3-1/2 inches, and available finishing, edge, texture, cutout, miter, and joint-prep options.

Your new Hardwood Lumber Company countertop is protected by a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. To ensure your warranty remains valid, any unfinished countertops must be finished and installed within one week of delivery, and you must follow our Countertop Finishing and Installation Guide precisely. Natural wood characteristics, such as minor warping due to environmental changes (often correctable with proper installation) or variations in grain and color, are not considered defects. The warranty does not cover scuffs or scratches on prefinished countertops caused by installation or normal wear and tear. Specific conditions that will void the warranty include not adhering to the finishing and installation guide, failing to support overhangs greater than 10 inches, or not properly protecting cutouts for stoves (from heat) and sinks (from moisture). Additionally, countertops with sink cutouts that have a Mineral Oil Finish or Salad Bowl Finish are not covered under this warranty

To keep your hardwood countertop looking its best and performing well for years to come, proper care is essential. If your countertop arrived unfinished, it's crucial to apply a food-safe finish to all surfaces (top, bottom, and all edges) within one week of delivery. For countertops finished with oil, re-apply a quality butcher block oil or conditioner approximately twice a month, or whenever the wood begins to look dry, to keep it hydrated and protected. Clean your countertop regularly with mild soap and warm water, wiping up spills promptly. For disinfection, a diluted white vinegar solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners and never let water stand on the surface for extended periods. For specialized finishes like Rubio Monocoat, use the recommended cleaning and maintenance products to preserve its unique properties.
Hickory
Hickory is the hardest, heaviest and strongest American wood. The sapwood of hickory is white, tinged with inconspicuous fine brown lines while the heartwood is pale to reddish brown. Hickory is coarse-textured and the grain is fine, usually straight but can be wavy or irregular. The wood can be sanded to a good finish. Hickory grain pattern welcomes a full range of medium-to-dark finishes. We use only the higher quality grades of hickory lumber for our products.
