A few years ago I built a cabinet for my brother-in-law out of Hickory. I really thought it was beautiful, but boy did that Hickory dull every blade and router bit I used on it. That is very tough wood, should last a lifetime and look fantastic in you truck!! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18 | Tim,

Sorry but I dont believe so ...I bought this off the company I work for, the Owner made me a special deal (been there 21yrs.)
He said since it was for me an my project truck....etc...at first he said just take what ya need but then said well we better exchange some $ or others might get PO'd, he told me not tell anyone at work what he charged me. Im pretty sure he just charged me a GREEN BOARD FT. cost at the mill.
I could ask what he would charge the public..but Im sure it will be considerably more.
Tim
