« on: March 02, 2011, 08:24:26 pm »
I picked up some wide, 10" hickory 1/2 in thick  today, does anyone know if this will warp if used in wordart? It just seems like it could??
Thanks Pete
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

I do know that it can be one of the hardest woods on blades I have come across in domestic woods, A friend of mine says it is harder than woodpecker lips!!!!!

I have cut several things from 3/4 curly hickory.  Other than being a very hard wood, it cuts just fine.  I have not experienced any warping of the finished pieces.  Another added bonus, it smells like an outdoor BBQ smoker if you cut on it for a period of time!!
