Hickory Slabs
Hickory and Pecan trees are both members of the genus Carya, which contains around 18 species of deciduous trees found in North and Central America. They are not identical but very similar. So much so that we group their wood together.

One Board foot = 144 Cubic Inches
Example: If you need a piece of wood 12 inches wide, 1 inch thick and 24 inches long, that is equal to 2 board feet.
12 inches x 1 inch x 24 inches = 288 inches. 288/ 144 = 2 board feet
