I found a few picture of pecan and hickory plywood.

This is pecan

This one was called hickory plywood

The one was labeled as hickorypecan plain sliced.

I also see several web site like this one. They group the hickory and pecan under the same heading.

Heck, even the customer will see the difference in those.

I can't wait to hear what they say.

Hello John,

I have some Butter nut that would work or come close to the same grain pattern that you might use and I can cut it to size that will ship via UPS Ground and it is only $1.50 per board feet and will meet the limits of the shipping company.

It would be banded and would not need to be crated so I can band it up and have it weighed and then you could place a pick up order with UPS and it will ship right from my shop to your front door. The shipping cost would not be that much to make it too expensive to buy.

Let me know if you are interested. It is kiln dried and is less than 8% MC.

Thanks Ralph. I'll let you know what I decide. Got to make a decision pretty soon. I have some hickory that is dried so since this got started, I want to see where it leads.

It is true but...

The application of this rule changes with the market. 10 years ago or so it was difficult to find Hickory and Pecan seperated, today it is very easy. In the US there are about 12 species of Carya, 8 are in the Hickory group and 4 in the Pecan group. So even if the wood is seperated you may still have several different species. This is not unusual. Red Oak can be any of about a dozen species and Purple Heart includes up to 20 different trees. In each case the lumber is so similar that the industry accepts them as one wood.

Hope this helps.

Kudo's Richard for the email update.

Well, at least that is settled. 10 years ago? Probably more like 20 lol.

Well, now we know what to look for and to make sure it's the same lot or at least the same species!!!!

Thanks Richard!!
