Go Bars...(Material)

I always thought that hickory was the traditional wood used for go bars.

Again, I think this is breaking strength rather than shear strength - but
I'm not an engineer - any engineers out there to set us straight?

What's shear got to do with go-bars?

I should thing Hickory would be the best choice for go bars, as it is the
best wood for resistance to sheer. I used to own a pair of hickory skis and
they we heavy but very flexible. It's THE material for making wooden
threaded stock, for piano legs, etc.
