WHY would you post that?  OMG, chills up my spine.  Thanks for that.

To answer your question, hickory is hard, stringy and horrible.  Seems to have higher than average tension as well and tends to move a lot when you rip it.  It's also ugly.

... and tough as ... well ... hickory.

The best way to shape hickory is by abrasion. Rasp it, grind it, sand it. Don't even try to cut it!
