Renowned as the strongest and toughest of all North American hardwoods, hickory is a legendary choice for traditional archery. Sourced locally from the woodlands of Wisconsin, this wood is celebrated for its incredible shock resistance and tensile strength. The wood typically features a clean, creamy-white to tan sapwood, while the heartwood offers a contrasting pale to reddish-brown. With its tight, straight grain and immense density, hickory is the gold standard for bowyers seeking a riser that can withstand the rigors of heavy use.
