Bed wood
With the nice weather we have been having I was able to do some more work on my truck bed. Last fall I brought back from PA some rough sawn Hickory that was milled from a tree on our property. Before it got cold I was able to get it all cut and planed to size.
Yesterday I made all the rabbet cuts and got it all laid out in the with the strips partially installed.
I really like the look of the wood.

Hickory? You found a decent Hickory tree? Not really many of them around any more. Half a dozen different diseases have had their way with them, over the past 100 or so years. My neighbor had an old Hickory, in his yard, when I was young.
I think you have made fitting use of the trees wood.

Ooh nice hardwood, and the fact that it was from your property , and finished it yourself, really makes it special. Add the that the truck belonged to your Grandfather, wow that's one very special truck. I'm no expert on wood, but I bet with proper care it will probably outlast most of us. Nice job!
