Hickory wood is very hard, very stiff, very dense and very shock resistant. As stated in the U.S. Forestry Service pamphlet on "Important Trees of Eastern Forests", "there are some woods that are stronger than hickory and some that are harder, but the combination of strength, toughness, hardness, and stiffness found in hickory wood is not found in any other commercial wood."[3] It is used for tool handles, bows, wheel spokes, carts, drumsticks, lacrosse stick handles, golf club shafts (sometimes still called hickory stick, even though made of steel or graphite), the bottom of skis, walking sticks and for punitive use as a switch (like hazel), and especially as a cane-like hickory stick in schools. Baseball bats were formerly made of hickory but are now more commonly made of ash. Hickory is also highly prized for wood-burning stoves, because of its high energy content. Hickory wood is also a preferred type for smoke curing meats. In the Southern United States, hickory is popular for cooking barbecue, as hickory grows abundantly in the region, and adds flavor to the meat. Hickory is sometimes used for wood flooring due to its durability and character.

Hickory is replacing Ash as the wood of choice for Scottish Shinty Sticks (also known as Camans).

A bark extract from shagbark hickory is also used in an edible syrup that is similar to maple syrup, with a slightly bitter, smoky taste.

The nuts of some species are palatable, while others are bitter and only suitable for animal feed. Shagbark and Shellbark Hickories, along with the Pecan, are regarded by some as the finest nut trees.

When cultivated for their nuts, note that because of their self-incompatibility, clonal (grafted) trees of the same cultivar cannot pollinate each other. Two or more cultivars must be planted together for successful pollination. Seedlings (grown from hickory nuts) will usually have sufficient genetic variation.

FloorLayers™ cares about the environment and takes responsibility by ensuring that all source material is purchased from suppliers who are concerned about the preservation of our natural resources. FloorLayers purchases raw material from suppliers who implement only the highest standards in forestry practices, thus assuring the conservation and replenishment of our forests.

More importantly, our proprietary manufacturing process actually saves trees. The flooring yield from our one-of-a-kind engineering is 4 times greater than a conventional hardwood floor. This means that FloorLayers can produce the same amount of engineered hardwood flooring from one tree where a typical flooring maker would require 4 trees to equal the same square footage. We think of it as preserving our forests—one tree at a time.
