Appalachian Species & Grades

Hickory Prime is our highest yielding grade, yielding at a minimum 83-1/3% clear-face cuttings and 66-2/3% on the back. Minimum cutting sizes of 3” x 7’ or 4” x 5’. Hickory Prime is ideal for applications requiring long, wide clear-face cuttings or multiple rips and chop. We grade after drying and surfacing, and against all natural drying or surfacing defects (pin knot no defect).
