Water hickory
Water hickory (Carya aquatica)

Family: Juglandaceae

Common names: Bitter pecan, Bitter water hickory, Hickory, Pecan, Swamp hickory, Water hickory, Wild pecan

Distributed in: Mexico, United States (Central America, North America)

Distribution overview: Water hickory is found in low, wet woods from Texas east to Florida and north to southern Illinois and Virginia (distribution map). Individuals of this species can tolerate both a wetter site and a wider range of soil moisture levels than any other hickory, surviving on poorly drained, tight textured soils that are flooded in winter and parched in summer. It is a major component of two forest cover types: Sugarberry-American Elm-Green Ash and Overcup Oak-Water Hickory. In north Louisiana, water hickory is found in association with C. ovata and C. cordiformis on Guyton soils. The position of the species is distinct, however, with water hickory occupiing the lowest, wettest sites

Common uses: Building materials, Chairs, Chests, Concealed parts (Furniture), Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Domestic flooring, Dowell pins, Dowells, Drawer sides, Drum sticks, Figured veneer, Fine furniture, Floor lamps, Flooring, Fuelwood, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, Handles, Hatracks, Interior construction, Interior trim, Kitchen cabinets, Ladders , Living-room suites, Millwork, Musical instruments , Office furniture, Paneling , Parquet flooring, Poles, Radio - stereo - TV cabinets, Rustic furniture, Shafts/Handles, Tool handles, Turnery, Vehicle parts, Wheelwright work

Environment profile: Widespread

Tree size: Trunk diameter is 200-250 cm

Colors: the heart isPale brown, Reddish brownand the sapwoodPale brown, White.The grain isWavy, the textureMediumand the lusterMedium

Natural durability: Susceptible to attack by insects, Very little natural resistance

Odor: No specific smell or taste

Kiln Schedules: T8 - D3 (4/4) T6 - D1 (8/4) US

Kiln Drying Rate: Naturally dries slowly

Drying Defects: Splitting, Wet wood may cause honeycomb and ring failure during drying

Ease of Drying: Slowly

Comments: 'bird pecks' leave residue Deposits - Magnesium carbonate deposits are present in the wood, and 'Bird pecks' leave residue that crystallizes.Deposits in the wood This species is a True pecan, and can be separated from the True hickories by weight, and by the narrow bands of parenchyma, which appear between the rays and between the large earlywood pores. (In hickory the band occurs after the first row of earlywood pores.)

Blunting Effect: Severe effect

Cutting Resistance: Fairly Difficult to Very Difficult to saw

Gluing: Use special attention for best results

Moulding: Requires special attention. A reduced cutting angle of 20 degrees is suggested for best

Movement in Service: Requires special attention. A reduced cutting angle of 20 degrees is suggested for best

Nailing: Pre-boring recommended

Planing: Special attention required Material with irregular grain requires a reduction in cutting angle of 20 degrees

Resistance to Impregnation: Wood is moderately resistant to treatment

Response to hand tools: Fairly Difficult to Difficult to Work

Sanding: Good sanding qualities

Steam bending: Excellent


Polishing: Good; Staining: Stains well ;

Heavy
Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high
Bending strength (MOR) = very high
Bending strength in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content) is very high. Compression strength parallel to grain, or maximum crushing strength, is also very high - higher than in Teak or Hard maple. It is a very heavy wood
