Tennessee Hickory Products

About Tennessee Hickory Products

Tennessee Hickory Products is a sawmill and handle maker in Loudon, Tennessee, working out of a factory on Keene Street. They have been turning hickory into tool handles since 1923. They take hickory logs and finish them all the way through, "from hickory logs, to blanks, to handles, to the lacquer finish," doing the work in-house. Their main line is sledge, hammer, axe and pick handles, along with hatchet, mallet, adze, file, and railroad pick handles. They also make ash handles for lawn, garden, agriculture, and contractor tools, plus hardwood survey stakes. Hickory dimension and blanks are handled through a related company, Charles O. Cox Corporation. This isn't a business that buys standing timber off your land or comes out to mark and cut trees. It's a mill and manufacturer that works with hickory and ash wood already cut into logs, turning it into finished tool handles by hand, with handles "turned to fit the grip of the user's hands ensuring extra comfort and better control of the tool." They sell wholesale, with a minimum order of $200, and will also point individual buyers toward local outlets and distributors if you just need a handle or two. This fits a landowner who has hickory or ash logs already and wants them turned into handles, not someone looking to sell standing timber or get a harvest done.
