I picked-up a board-foot of shagbark hickory. It's about 20% more dense than rock maple so I figured I'd give it a shot for sinking needles.

Unfortunately, it didn't turn well. It's "stringy" (for lack of a better word) -- any break in the surface wants to peel back like string cheese.

I'm sure many of you know this, but I figured I'd post what I found.
