I'm having a heck of a time figuring out if it's hickory or oak. Does Hickory have a redish tint, like red oak? I think I may have just QS a hickory, does hickory have QS ray flake, maybe it's a hickory oak - I don't know  What's a sure fire way to tell the difference? I'm confused.
Thanks

Hickory is close-grained. It does not have the coarse grain you see in oak or ash.

I just bandsawed a hickory (rescue) firewood log to make a mallet. The grain is very, very tight and the color, freshly cut, is markedly different from oak. It looks like maple... very light and the tight grain is obvious. Even a rookie like me could tell the diff in oak and hikker. I know you can. | |

Jim - well, unless it's obvious, this is my weak spot. If I can get a leaf then I'm ok.

Well no need for pics, it's been positively identified as RO, by someone much more knowledgeable than my self.
Thanks

Hickory will also have dark streaking(tan to dark brown) from the heart wood. Red Oak will not. Also Hickory or Pecan will have really white white as sap.
Another test is planing a small piece..hard as nails. | |
