Excerpt from Products From Hickory BoltsHickory (carya eee') has earned the reputation of being one of the world's toughest woods. In shock resistance it has no equal. The reputation earned by hickory is based on the performance of high quality material in products requiring a high degree of strength and toughness.Today, a limited quantity of high-grade hickory is available and its value and scarcity are well recognized by the wood-using industries. There is, however, a large volume of low-grade hickory that was bypassed when loggers cut our hard wood forests, and many land managers are troubled by the increasing amount of growing space occupied by it. Although this low-grade hickory does not possess the quality or properties required in many products, it is a potentially valuable wood for many uses.A conference of federal, state, university, and industrial representatives was held in Clemson, S. C. In April 1953, and the Hickory Task Force was organized to promote the utilization of hickory. Accomplishment of this objective will be reached through research and publication of known information.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
