Can’t figure out if whether walnut or hickory would be better your project? The American Hardwood Information Center has released its free American Hardwood Species Guide Mobile App. Apple and Android mobile device users can click here to link to their provider’s app store.
The Reference Guide application includes information about many of the popular American hardwood species, profiling appearance, physical and working properties, availability and typical applications of each. A stain simulator displays the species in clear, light, medium and dark finishes to help visualize stain combinations of flooring, cabinetry, molding and furniture in a single design space. There is also information on workability, and the species’ profile includes images featuring the wood in finished applications.
