For architects and designers specifying FC Uniform Color Premium Hickory Veneer, please reference product number DSV-5023.
Hickory Flat Cut Wood Veneer (Uniform Color Premium) is a highly durable and uniquely beautiful domestic hardwood. While traditional Hickory Veneer is known for extreme, contrasting two-tone color variations, this premium selection is processed to feature a desirable Uniform Color throughout the sheet, making it the ideal choice for large-scale millwork projects where color matching and consistency are critical.
Visual Characteristics: Uniformity and Grain
The Uniform Color feature minimizes the stark contrast between the pale sapwood and the dark brown heartwood, delivering a consistent look that ranges from a creamy off-white to a light tan or pale brown.
The veneer exhibits a strong, predominantly straight grain pattern with a moderately coarse texture. The Flat Cut method (also known as Plain Sliced or Crown Cut) is used to create attractive, elongated cathedral patterns that provide visual depth without the busy, inconsistent look of lower-grade cuts.
Unrivaled Strength and Applications
Hickory is one of the hardest, densest, and most impact-resistant domestic woods available in North America. Its legendary strength and durability are why it has been a staple in high-impact goods for centuries:
-
Sporting Goods: Most famously used for baseball bats.
-
Tools: Ideal for heavy-duty hammer and shovel handles.
-
Modern Applications: The combination of texture and durability makes it perfect for rustic furniture and high-traffic cabinetry where wear-and-tear resistance is essential.
Its unique texture and robust appearance make it a superb choice for achieving a refined rustic or modern farmhouse aesthetic in any large-scale project.
