Hickory is pretty darn hard with a Janka rating of 1820. Would that make all the mortice work a real chore?
Robin- I did some searching for Oak furniture squares yesterday after reading of your quandary. Nothing thicker than 2″ square is common. Most place I checked did not even carry White Oak in any thicker than 8/4. Go figure. I’ll let you know if I dig up anything.
I am thinking it may be easier to find some seasoned 2′ oak firewood logs and cut up your own squares. Time to hit CL and do some searches for firewood…
