hickory for timber?

Have the material that you are going to use for implement handles quarter sawn for extra strength.

Thanks for all the reply's and advise. I'll be trying to find a Forester.

If I had it cut for flooring, would it have to be kiln dried before I put it down? I'd love to be able to do this, or make paneling, but unfortunately now I need money more than I need paneling or flooring...
