Hickory is what you make an axe handle out of when you want it to last, and we let that set the tone inside. Olive green, black and white, tan leather at the foot of the king. Hideaway was not a stretch. Get the fire going out front, pull the door shut behind you, and let somebody else worry about where you got to.

Its Tree

Shagbark hickory

Carya ovata

You can identify a shagbark from across the pasture, because the bark peels off in long strips that curl away from the trunk and stay there. It looks like the tree is coming apart and it is not. The nuts are the ones the squirrels fight over every October.
