Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods.  I believe they have a web site. Keep in mind that hickory is a physically heavy wood.  In moderate spine weights in 11/32 diameter shafts and a moderate point weight, the resulting arrow will be 700-800 grains.

I found the site yesterday, but they are listed as unavailable. I like a heavy arrow, I was hunting with 680 grain Doug. Fir this season.

Ash or Maple are also heavy and pretty tough. May have to heat straighten before stain/finnish.
