Hickory wood – a name with deep roots, derived from Pawcohiccora. This is what the Algonquins called the wood they used to make their highest quality bows. The indigenous inhabitants of America knew what was strong – and what was beautiful. Even today, you can still feel the freedom and expanse when you look at the clear pattern of the bright decor. You can feel the light wind blowing across the prairie. It’s a good feeling.
