Hi Emerald and LCLY crew. I wanted to give you another wood to review on the Janka Scale. Look up Lignum Vitae. It ranks 19,510 on the Janka Scale. In the old telephony days, we used a mallet made of Lignum Vitae to fashion sleeves (closures) around lead sheathed cable. This wood is so hard that in the 18th century ship propeller shafts were made from it. I am luck enough to have a mallet of this wood and I keep it on my desk since it has become rare. Just thought you might be interested.

Hickory is ideal for hadwood flooring. Takes a good finish, never dents and mellows over time to a beautiful, warm tan. Also, remarkably inexpensive. I don't agree with you on the furniture side. I've used it in plenty of furniture. With sharp tools, it works really well, and it's pretty stable, so you don't have to worry about it distorting over time.

Wonderful video. From my experience with Hickory I find it hard to work with because it is very stringy like elm. That is why it is used for tools and ladders because even when it brakes it stays together so you don'tget wicked in the head with a flying mallet. We have all experienced that. Definitely love the rustic variation in Hickory from blond sap wood to dark heartwood and mineral streaks to add more contrast. Funny I have a Hickory wood coast for cups from our reclaimed wood that has a musket in it from around the Civil War time. I think I value Hickory more than most.

Since every single slab needs to be moved by hand anyways, you could easily separate the waste material into softwood and hardwood without any additional effort. With reference to the former comment I made in "HOW WE GET RID OF SLAB WOOD: the mill’s main waste product", you could charge an extra fiver or tenner for the hardwood over the softwood quality due to its higher technical & calorific value when selling off.
