HICKORY | Tier 1 Domestic Hardwood
ENGRAVING CHARACTERISTICS:
Engraving Color:
Deep Brown
Engraving Contrast:
High
This is a tier 1 wood. Each of our materials belongs to a "tier", which simply helps you determine how expensive the material is. Our least expensive materials are in Tier 1, while our most expensive and exotic materials are in Tier 6.
Hickory is typically light to medium brown, sometimes with a reddish hue to it, and features distinctive grain patterns. Hickory also engraves very well and leaves behind a deep brown color that contrasts well with the unmarked wood.
Hickory is typically harvested in Eastern United States.
ORDER A SAMPLE:
Before you make a final decision on which type of wood you'd like for your project, you can purchase a sample! Samples are available in two sizes:
— A small 3 inch square cut and engraved on 1/8" thick material - These samples are unfinished, raw wood and represent the quality of wedding invitations and signage you might be ordering.
— A larger 5 inch square cut and engraved on 3/4" thick material - These samples are lacquer-finished and faithfully represent the quality of each material as it would apply to your larger project, such as our unique boxes or inlay signs.
