Excerpt from Nails and Spikes in Hickory Recent technological developments permit the hickory user to overcome many of the fastening problems with which he was previously confronted. It is the purpose of this report to provide all available in formation on nailing procedures that are especially suitable for properly fastening hickory. Since hickory has been avoided in many fields because of the lack of applicable information on effective and economical fastening methods, the solving of this problem should result in a more extensive use of this desirable wood. It is visualized that the use of improved slender nails, which can be driven into dry hickory either with or without suitable nail ing machines, may make it feasible to employ even relatively low-grade hickory for such assemblies as skids, picture frames, window sashes, bed rails, drawers and drawer guides, and pallets, to mention just a few applications where nailing problems previously made the use of hickory impractical or undesirable.
